Auckland National series XC races

Well Clinton did it again, but the big gain was Nina Trass pulling second in the Pro-elite womens race, she really is starting to improve now. And Ash had a solid race for second in U19 and sitting 2nd in series over all. Moniques suffered froma crash early in the race and never got going, still 3rd place so not a complete disaster.

great weekend

For the first time in a long time I could go to a mountain bike race without any official role. So it was great to roll up and watch Clinton and John Grays race. And to see the juniors where Ash and Monique haad won there races and Wade was third. It was fantastic to see Sonia back on the mountain bike, I think her first MTB race since the commonwealth games!!!!

What impressed me was the ease of Clintons win, the others were smashed after and Clinton was fresh as, and he won by 7 minutes. Also the UN19 Girls with moniques lap times faster than the U23 and all but the winner of the pro elite!!!!
