The 2008 Sunshine Series dates have set.
heres the email i gotski.
The XC has been consolidated so that the six races are held between 24 Feb and 18 May, meaning competitors can then focus training on the endurance events.
The DH likewise has been put closer together and not starting until the XC is finished.
Note the change to starting times also - Elites on first so there's more spectators to see them, especially the younger racers.
There is going to be a MTBA commissaires course on Sunday 11th November 9am-5pm at Sports House, if anyone is interested. Accreditation lasts 4 years. Let us know if you would like to do this. Every Club is going to have to have their own commissaire.
