Riders Sweat in Taranaki

Michael Posted: 17 January 2016, 11:16 AM   High temperatures challenged riders in the 2015 (yes 2015) MTBO Champs in Taranaki at the weekend. The small club produced a sprint and middle on a great area including school, park and cemetery terrain, and a long on the Lake Mangamahoe MTB park. Marquita Gelderman remains NZ's top woman but the Open Mens honours were shared between Liam Paterson, Liam Drew and Tom Spencer.
