Big turnout and tight times at gravity racing night

ANOTHER perfect evening for gravity racing at Rifle Butts MTB Park with a huge turn out of racers. We had 26 people race. Not bad for an evening’s racing. Racing appears to be getting tighter across the board. A new winner this week: Ryder Chadd. He had the fastest lap just pipping Rueben Bateup for the hot lap by one second. The top five this week were Ryder Chadd closely followed by Thing one and Thing two (the matching Bateups) on the same second with Ant getting the honours on a count back. The All Terrain Cycles Cup was taken out by Shannon finishing fourth just ahead of Archie Smith, who is washing bikes for the week. As said earlier times were tight all the way through the results sheet. Dan Friday may have done better but a pre-run mechanical had his trusty or not so trusty Banshee not performing optimally. Tim Ross should undertake a course in bike maintenance as a slow leak will only usually get you to the top of the hill. Although I don’t think Tim’s pumped up tyres would have been enough for him to catch Ben. Nicole Hoebergen took her first win over the very speedy Sienna Vivash with Ariel rounding out the women’s field. It’s great to see big turn outs, so well done everyone. On the last Gravity Enduro of the year there will be gear available to anyone who wants it. It will include tyres, CamelBaks, helmets and some clothing. If anyone has some stuff they don’t want bring it along and get it re-purposed.
