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.

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 seriously injured 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!
