MGG #8 is coming

Once again, the wheels are turning at MGG HQ. We've locked in a date for the next ride :

MGG #8 Sunday October 21st

Carve that date into your calendar with a knife. Or, y'know, tap it into your iPhoning device.

CX season is starting to wind up but that does not mean you get to throw the CX bike in the shed until next year! Keep it dialled and come out for an MGG ride - we promise it won't be as intense as a CX race, though we can't guarantee you won't have to shoulder your bike at some point.

We'll probably start out of Lilydale this time. More details shortly...


Also, there's this :

 Dirty Deeds Spooky CX!

Short track CX racing, ridiculous costumes, silly race formats, it's going to be... incredible. Come and kick back with the Dirty Deeds crew as they chill the hell out after another banger of a racing season.

Can. Not. Wait.

MGG #7 Report

Some said it was the hardest one yet. There was climbing, very mixed terrain and awesome views. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Good times are coming

The wheels are turning slowly at MGG headquarters but, rest assured, they are turning. Plans are forming, routes are being designed, recon rides have been booked in. We'll be visiting a new location for the next ride - think... north. We'll announce the details soon but, for now, just keep Sunday August 19th free.

In related news, the crew who brought us Dirty Gran Fondo are putting on another event called The Double Cross. It's down south at Kurth Kiln this time and they're offering 60km and 30km options. Dirty Gran Fondo was awesome - these guys know how to put on a well-organised event. The MGG crew will definitely be there to eat more sandwiches and ride more dirt. The Double Cross is on Sunday 2nd September. Sunday 14th October!


And, finally, the dirty meat in a gravel sandwich. The next round of Dirty Deeds Cyclocross is on Sunday 26th August. The last round at Darebin Parklands was a ripper. Mud, beer, frites, cowbell, what's not to like? Check out the photos on the Dirty Deeds blog and tell me that doesn't look like a ridiculous amount of fun. Sign up, get down there, get muddy.


So, to recap, here's your calendar for August/September :

Sunday 19th August  Melbourne Gravel Grinders #7
Sunday 26th August  Dirty Deeds CX
Sunday 2nd September Sunday 14th October The Double Cross

Rock up to all three and kick the arse of winter into next year!
