It will be on Saturday 10th March, details to be determined in the New Year. Till then - Merry Christmas, happy and safe riding and I hope Santa brings you a new bike.

XC Round 6 Wrap Up Wednesday, 14 September 2011 20:42 | Author: Gwyn Tavener-Smith
Race report Sunday 11th Sept 2011 A clear morning greeted riders for round 6 of the club point score. What made this race different was the course changes that were designed and implemented by Andy Flahive and Scott Carson. The new course still comes in at 10klm but eliminates some of the more technical sections and incorporates the Lost Trails area that was found for last years’ Rock Wallaby. The feed back from riders was extremely positive with the height of the directional signs being a point that will be addressed as a few riders missed turns and had to back track. The conversations were quite funny at times as riders feasted on sausage carbo energisers with chef Mark Ward in full control. The prizes for the plate draw were donated by our supporters at Spearmans Cycles and Avanti Plus. The winners of the day were Jason Morgan in the Male Vets in the best time of the day of 1.38, he was still in form after winning the State title. Ian King, Dave McMurdo and Gwyn Taverner Smith battled the Male Masters and Mick Potter taking out the Opens. Kellie Welnert, in training for a half marathon won the U17 Females and State Champion Callum Carson continuing his good form in the U15. Riley King celebrated his 11th birthday by winning the U13 section in a great time of 40 minutes. Our next race will be on the 16th October, the weekend after the Scott 24.
