I-Rule provide some of the best adventure racing, multisport and MTB specific gear. Their range of knicks (with the patented pocket system) is widely agreed by everyone as the best around. So easy to access food from the pockets while you're racing, riding or whatever. The material is indestructible and the chamois is great quality.
Great range of tops, and outerwear. We thoroughly recommend the Mawson tops which are ideal in cold conditions. Made from Merino and other materials, it is phenomenal how they perform even in the wettest and most miserable conditions. They survived 48hrs non stop in this year's GeoQuest, and kept us warm the whole time. Merino wool just doesn't let you get cold and it doesn't smell (you could wear these for weeks… if you wanted to?).
For more information on the range of iRule gear contact us to get a catalogue or to ask any questions. You can also download a catalogue here and coming soon, you will be able to buy from our online shop. We are offering free postage on all orders so make the most of it!

Megaburn provide a range of bars, sports drinks and fuels for anyone participating in outdoor activities. These bars are by far the best that we have tested (and we've tried them all). The difference is that these bars are a live nutritional food bar made of raw, natural ingredients. Being natural and live doesn't mean they're running around either! It means they have healthy bacteria that help in the ability to digest and utilise the energy and nutrition in the bar itself. As a race food it is ideal. If you just want a great nutritional snack for your rides, then these are also the way to go.
For a full range of products checkout http://www.megaburn.com We are an agent for Megaburn, so if you are interested in any of the food, drinks, etc.

We are proud to promote and associate with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. We had the unfortunate circumstances on New Years Day 2006 to require their services on the NSW North Coast when Kim was injured quite seriously in a MTB accident. The team from Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service flew her from the accident to John Hunter Hospital on one of the hottest days experienced with bushfires surrounding the hospital.
They are a great organisation and have a close association with riding throughout NSW. Every registration fee includes a donation to this worthwhile service. Some of their key sponsored events are Pedal Fest at Dungog and the Mountain Bike Ride - 8 day event. The Mountain Bike Ride is one of the Service’s main events & fundraisers for the helicopter service. Over the past 4 years they have raised over $185,000 and hope to continue this fantastic effort. Get along and support these if you can!
