This annoncement was made the other day and no one seems to have picked up on it yet....
"With the devastating bushfires in Victoria still fresh in the minds of many, Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) announced that the previously postponed 2009 Marathon Championships have been rescheduled for Bendigo on September 20.
The Championships race will be hosted by the Bendigo Mountain Bike Club at the Golden Triangle, which gets its name from the rich gold rush heritage of the Bendigo region including Castlemaine, Daylesford and Bendigo.
"Tagging the Golden Triangle with the Australian MTB Marathon Championships will provide a boost to the local economy affected by the February fires and the economic downturn," said John Harvey, President of the Bendigo club. "To have a event of this significance in the region will be great opportunity to increase the exposure of mountain biking to the local and regional community and an opportunity to showcase some of the unique mountain bike riding opportunities within the area."
The Australian title will be awarded at the end of the 105km event. Entries will open online on July 1"
