BBMTB racing returns with the Autumn/Winter series

 

Our brand new chief of racing, Scott Melgaard has delivered a fantastic Autumn/Winter series that experimented with a format to appeal to all racing tastes.   An enduro style event and a cross country event were run on the same morning to cater for riders more interested in gravity laps as well as those more interested in cross country. ​

​

There were over one hundred entries over the four race series, with participation growing every round.  

 

Congratulations to all our riders, category race winners and overall series winners, and thanks to Ride Mogo for supporting the prizes for our series winners and place getters.

Round 1 racing took place around the Mitchells/Dog Trap Road junction, with the  two-stage enduro race using Tea Party and Alice In Wanderaland with a climb up Gin Kana in between.  The cross country race was two laps of Thunder/Flipping Pancakes/Skills Park/Black Duck and Lightening.

 

Round 2 was based at the Mogo Trig with timed descents of Poachers Rite and Flying Mullet, with no limit on the number of attempts in 75 minutes.  The cross country took place on Half Baked/Zooniverse/Compression Session/Jack Hammer/MayDay MayDay/Zooniverse/Burnt Offerings/Jack Hammer/MayDay MayDay/Zooniverse/Baked.    
 

​Round 3 was based at the top of Big Dogs Bone on Dog Trap Road.  The gravity event was timed descents of Big Dogs Bone and Al Capones Garden with no limit on the number of attempts between 9 o'clock to 10:45.  The cross country took place on Al Capones/Jack Hammer/Zooniverse/Burnt Offerings/Jack Hammer/Zooniverse.

 

Round 4 (and series finale) was back at the Trig, with the enduro lapping Poachers Rite and MoFlow, and the cross country starting with a fireroad climb then: Current Level/RU12/fireroad climb/Company Credit Card/Bad Dawg/Company Credit Card/Baked to finish up at the Trig.
