President of the Tathra Mountain Bike Club Chris Pittolo said the track was dry and rode really well both days of the event.

"We got lucky that all the trails are all on the north-east side of the hill so they were a bit sheltered from the wind.

"The conditions at the Country Club were really blowy and pretty cold and unpleasant, but on the trails it was pretty good," he said.

Temperatures were mild both days with temperatures not rising above 16 degrees.

Mr Pittolo said the club was satisfied by the successful event and that funds raised would go towards maintenance of the trail to carry out tasks such as brush cutting, rebuilding features, drainage, and upgrades.
