National Mountain Bike Champs Photo Competition
Saturday, 20th February '10 - Darren
The Wellington MTB Club will be hosting the NZ Downhill and 4X/Dual Slalom Championships on the weekend of the 26-28th of February.
Friday will see the first runs on the new track with downhill practice running from 9am till 12. Riders will be getting a feel of the new track which we have been hard at work designing and building. The new track features more airtime, and we have tried to increase the technical aspects of the track.
Friday afternoon sees the 4X and Dual slalom over in MT Albert - Newtown. Riders will be practicing, then competing in both disciplines early in the afternoon, and into the evening.
Plans are also afoot to show a MTB movie after the racing at the venue.
Saturday sees the riders move back to Long Gully, where practicing takes a step up. The morning will be spent with riders testing out lines, and getting more of a feel for the new aspects. The afternoon should see the pace pickup, with riders getting racelines sorted, and starting to ride at full speed.
Sunday is race day. Race runs will be starting around midday.
Come along and enjoy NZ's best riders tackling one of the best tracks in the country (honestly - we are not biased......) to try and gain the title of New Zealand champion.
While all the action is going on the tracks, there will be a photo competition for the National Champs, held over the weekend of the 26-28th of Feb. This year there will be seperate competitions - 4X/Dual Slalom Sponsored by Burkes Cycles and Downhill Sponsored by Wellington Photographic Supplies. Each will have seperate prizes.
