Dirt Crits Gravity Enduro 30/11/21
The inaugural Highline Gravity Enduro was held last night in perfect conditions. The race started with a rather long climb from Rifle Butts Park to the top of South Blue Range (not so long for Ruby but very long for the always ready Alex Green) The first stage was held on the downhill track to the mid-way point, with Ant Bateup and Elise Empey posting the same time to take line honours.
Stage 2 was held on a new trail and credit must be given to Sam Mosley and Zac Empey for building what was a rather challenging course with lots of steep sections and off camber corners. Line honours went to the trail builder Sam Mosley closely followed by Zac and Elise Empey, again on the same time.
Special mention: It was great to see Darren Bakker who is very new to mountain biking complete what was a challenging course. Well done to the Mayor of Jamieson. Next week we have another event from the pain cave at Rifle Butts. Stay tuned. Click here for results.
MMBCC Club kit
Ventou will open the online portal for club kit in the next few days.
It will close at midnight Wednesday 15 December so we can get the gear back as early as possible in the new year.
If you need/want more club kit (especially the winter jacket - it's great!) here is the link. Contact Bruce via email for the password to place your order.
