Pleasure and Pain - What the?The Pleasure and Pain mountain bike event is something very special. Over the last three years Coffs Harbour Mountain Bike club (CHMBC) has grown in reputation and membership. Receiving glowing reviews recently in national magazines MBA and Enduro, you already know this is a rider’s dream destination not to be missed! With the assistance of Forestry N.S.W. we are pleased to be able to offer what has been labeled “some of the best single track in Australia”. CHMBC holds regular enduro and cross country events and has thrown together a couple of 6 hr enduros. Two wheel promotions have also utilized some of the area for the last two Coffs Marathons with great success with world class riders returning to play in this subtropical rainforest location. Following the huge success of the inaugural Pleasure and Pain in 2009, we plan to be back with an even better event in 2010.Â
