Highline Gravity Enduro Race Report 7/2/23

By Dave Empey

Everyone turned up because it was a Gravity Enduro race night, forgetting that they needed to ride to the top of South Blue Range. There were questions regarding being shuttled up. However, these were met with deaf ears.  We had 20 racers and racing was tight.  The race was incident free with the Dobsons managing to avoid catastrophe both whilst racing and in the warm down.  Two challenging tracks were utilized. In the end, it was Archie Smith who took the win with a combined time of 3.37, in second position it was Ryder Chadd on 3.46, third Elijah McGuiggan on 3.47 followed by Zac Empey on 3.50, and rounding out the top 5 was Elise Empey on 4.00.  many thanks to Tamara and Louie for allowing the club to utilise their property.  Thanks to Mel and Kate for battling the 747 size mosquitoes and timing.
