Mountain Biking
2019 MTBNZ South Island XCO Champs
The track was described to be "quite technical, up and down, with no place to rest physically or mentally".
The track conditions were dry and dusty as well as the sun beating down creating heat into the valley which proved to be an extra challenge for the riders, but with that being said these students didn't let any of this phase them. They rode like champions and gave their racing everything they had.
