The first St Francis Bay MTB Challenge was held on Sunday, 6 September 2009. We waited anxiously at the Links very early that morning, wondering whether we would have 50 cyclists, or maybe 100, but no more than 150. 444 cyclists arrived! Jeff Clause had agreed to host it at the Links, which contributed hugely to the popularity. Still, obviously, with that surprising number 46
of cyclists that arrived, we ran out of entry forms, burgers and much more! But it was a huge success.
