Race Report for 2013 Hammer Nutrition XC Enduro Race 2

The second round of the 2013 Hammer Nutrition XC Enduro 4-hour series was a success yesterday with 100 riders enjoying the Craigburn Farm Trails in their respective categories. Mother nature provided some rain in the lead up to the race, leaving the trails a little muddy in places, but overall the conditions were prime for a winter race. A chilly 9am start saw most riders keen to get underway and get warm!

The course was roughly 10kms in length with 285m of vertical climbing, and used Sticks & Stones as a descent, the new ‘Gunners Run’ trail, Sidewinder and the Cow Bones loop.

Make sure you keep July 21st free for the next XC Enduro to be held at Eagle MTB Park.

Thanks to all of the riders for making it such a great race and to all of the club sponsors for their ongoing support.

Parking vehicles at Craigburn

Dear members,
Due to local council restrictions, only approved vehicles for setting up the event may enter past the gate on Craigburn Drive. AMBC volunteers will keep the gate locked, so please keep in mind you’ll need to arrive extra early to walk your gear down to the race track from the car park at the Blackwood Football Club.
As always, please be extra careful to avoid all forms of litter, including organic matter such as banana peels. In future this may help to demonstrate to relevant parties that we respect the local area enough to allow access to park on Craigburn Drive.
Thanks,
Evan James, Race Director

Race Report for 2013 Hammer Nutrition XC Enduro Race 1

The 2013 Hammer Nutrition XC Enduro 4-hour series kicked off on Sunday with the first round held at Prospect Hill. The weather was a little damp in the lead up, but come race day it was a perfect sunny and still autumn day. The vibe from race start was great, with the sun shining and 102 riders ready to compete in their respective solo or duo categories.

The 8km course consisted of the majority of the crowd-favourite singletrack sections, broken up with some fire road. The course was wet in areas, and the slippery roots were out to play.

There was a great atmosphere on course, with the sounds of riders enjoying themselves and chatting, and an extremely friendly attitude from passing riders. Once the checkered flag began to wave, the prominent sound became the chatter of exhausted riders comparing race stories and sharing laughs.

Make sure you keep June 23rd free for the next XC Enduro to be held at Craigburn Farm.

Thanks to all of the riders for making it such a great race and to all of the sponsors for their support.

Most of all, thank you to all of the volunteers who dedicated their time to ensure the course was prime, and that the event was run as smooth as they get!
