April update

Well the end of summer has arrived I think, first frosts seen on the ground.

Clinton has had a few setback in the start of his year with Champion Systems, but things are falling into place now. He has finally got on a SRM so Im seeing daily training now and watching daily improvements as he comes back from a bit of sickness.

Olly has had Xterra NZ, he was disappointing to finish 10th overall, but still won his age class and Qualified for Worlds at Maui. Given that Olly had also picked up a bug and was down a little in form, I think this is still a great result.

Logan has his new team in Texas going well and is now leading and managing that team, Its anon profit charity called Bone shaker, its to promote young kids getting out and active, "Shaking their bones"

The CRI Junior tour also just finished with great weather, great racing and a great team of organisers that prior to this were talking about giving it away. I guess we will all be back next year. Plus it has to keep going for at least 15 more years so that Kiara can have a race.

Amber Johnston won the NZ National Series and the Oceania MTB junior womens XCO race and gained selection for the worlds but will do the world cups in North America this year to gain experience that will lead to a great result at next years worlds.

Raewyn Morrison won the Oceania Super D and has developed a real passion for this event. And backed it up with another medal in the Oceania eliminator race.

Great start to the year guys, but more to come.
