Dirt Crits Race 15 – 11th  March 2014

See below for results from Bike Buller, the National MTB Championships and Mitch competing in the Oceania MTB Championships.

Junior Event
It was an evening for the boys this week at Dirt Crits. The course was very dusty with a few scrapes on the knees and elbows.
Newcomer James improved his time by 5-minutes- Great work!
We hope to see you at Riflebutts Reserve at 5:15pm next Tuesday.
Kate.

Senior Event
The event was the second of the long lap races, organised by Cam Lachal.
The A lappers went well and honed their skills on a modified track courtesy of a fallen tree. Everyone raced a steady race to keep back markers at bay, while Anthony Plummer pinned it for the A grade victory.
B grade saw a good race with Keoni Brunner taking out 2nd while Ross McKinnon took out 1st.
Cam.

Damian Grundy has offered to organise next week’s senior event.
The race will begin with a mass start, with a climb to sort out the bunch before the single track starts.
Riders will race about the same number of laps as they normally would.
Riders will be eliminated from the race as it progresses.



Dirt Critters race at MTB Nationals at Bright
It was great to see that the hard work has paid off for three of our club members at the MTB Nationals at Bright. Kian Lerch-MacKinnon raced in the U17 category, riding through the field and coming away with second place from Liam Jeffries- well done!
Foley Lachal and Mitch Greenway raced in the U19 category. Foley had a mishap at the start, which put him a far way back. He rode through the field and ended up in 5th place. Well done. Mitch finished in 2nd place behind Reece Tucknott. Congratulations Mitch!

Mitch competes in the Oceania MTB Championship in New Zealand
Mitch has travelled to New Zealand to compete in the Oceania MTB Championships at Mt Hutt, Methven (south west of Christchurch). Good luck Mitch!

Dirt Crits Race 12 - 18th February 2014

Pre-Junior Participation

It was great to see the participation of some very junior riders on balance bike- Ruby Rademaker (with Shannon and Narelle, and of course Alice providing emotional support) and also Lexie Meek (with Chad and Skye).

(report and photos - CLICK HERE)

 

Junior Event

Kate’s enthusiasm with the Juniors is always evident as it rubs off on the children.

Before the beginning of the event Kate reminded the riders to ensure that they left enough space between each other- no elbows or rubbing tyres!

All the children had a great ride and try really hard to improve their personal best each week. They were rewarded with watermelon at the end of their event.

We hope to see you at Riflebutts Reserve at 5:15pm next Tuesday.

Senior Event

After a bike weekend of riding for some club members it was going to be interesting to see how they pulled up and recovered for this event.

The handicapper is closing the gap for many riders, with the target being the 40min mark. Many riders are finishing within a minute either way of that target, with a few still needing closer attention. It was great that Jai Lerch-MacKinnon recorded his first win of the season- Well done Jai.

Results-

1st Jai Lerch-MacKinnon- 36.25 (4 laps) 2nd Rod Sargeant- 37.21 (5 laps)
3rd Matthew Empey- 37.29 (4 laps)

The current points standing to date is-

1st place- Mike Davies- 234 points 2nd place- Anthony Plummer- 194 points 3rd place- Aaron Sargeant- 179 points

Thanks to Foley for bunting the course this week.

Duty Roster

Senior event- Katie Bowker and Kieren Payne.

Next Week’s Ride

Cam is working on a different course, but there are still some things to iron out, so next week’s race will be held on Course 1.

Dirt Crits Race 11 - 11th February 2014

Bright 12hr

Matt Young reported on the results of the Bright 12hr held on the weekend.

The bright 12hr was muddy and loose then the rain stopped and the lap times got faster and faster.

The juniors with Foley, Mathew, April and Tom took out 4th in the Schools category, with Foley dotting down some insane lap times!

Dave, Kian, Cam and Matt pushed hard all day and came in with 2nd in the team of 4 male and 2nd overall.

Anthony Plummer competed in the solo category and over 6hrs30mins completed over 80km- great work!

Junior Event

We hope to see you at Riflebutts Reserve at 5:15pm on Tuesday.

Junior Event
 
It was great to see the junior riders raring to go for the first event of the season. Numbers were a bit light on, so Kate decided that they could ride a few laps of the Senior Course 1, although the pressure was on to ride ‘Rubbish Run’. Kerren MacNamara was the lead rider for the group- Thanks Kerren.
 
We hope to see you at Riflebutts Reserve at 5:15pm next Tuesday.
