Results: last of the summer ride

Ten turned up to race, and a further eight for a sifty ride at yesterday's Last of the Summer Rides ride at Mangamahoe. Two epic battles waged in the XC race, one at the front of the field between Scott and Matt, and an even closer duel of youth vs 'experience' between Nick and Liam in the middle of the field.

The tracks were running beautifully, with the hard work being done by club trail gurus Craig and Shane delivering the goods. The scene is set for a fast-paced and fun XC event at the University games in a fortnight, which will use similar trails (maps up in the next day).
