2018 MTBA Cross-Country National Championships NEMTB results
Check out your placing in both the XCE and XCO. NEMTB members only listed. You can find a comprehensive list of results on http://my3.raceresult.com/?lang=en If you were around the Armidale area on the weekend you may have noticed a lot of very serious “two wheel action”. The New England Mountain Bike Club in conjunction with Mountain Biking Australia (MTBA) and University of New England (UNE) were proud to host the 2018 MTBA Cross-Country National Championships. Cyclists, who come from all over Australia and New Zealand, competed in two main disciplines: Cross-Country Eliminator - a new and fantastically exciting short course (610m) sprint race. This year the course took a surprising and unique metropolitan route through the main courtyard of the UNE. The usual risk factors of rocks, jumps and tree roots were replaced in this format by sharp corners, unforgiving cement edges, ascending and descending stairs, and a narrow race line. Essentially, riders are arranged into heats of 4 according to qualifying time. The two fastest riders go through to the next round whilst the two slower riders are eliminated from the race. This race was conducted on Friday 23 February, giving many of the riders a solid, quick hit-out prior to their XCO races. The results will include 1st, 2nd and 3rd placegetters, followed by positions of each NEMTB member. Elite Men, Under 23 Men and Junior Men (U19s) (combined 31 competitors): 1st – Cameron Ivory (Elite) 2nd – Charlie Brodie (Junior) 3rd – Matthew Dinham (Junior) NEMTB members: 4.

Cross-Country Olympic – This is probably the most common discipline of mountain biking. It is a longer course of approximately 5-10ks where riders do a designated number of laps depending on their category. The course at SportUNE has been highly praised by mountain bikers – many of its more risky sections (Mars Attack, Ducketts Way) being purpose built to achieve the high level of challenge and difficulty expected in this format. The results are positions of each NEMTB member. The categories are kept separate unlike the eliminator. Saturday 24 February Under 17 Women (3 laps) 1. Isabella Hosking 5. Sabrina Ho 7.

2015 Mountain Bike Orienteering - 30 December - Results
Experience
trumps local knowledge at the Piney MTBO
Seven local mountain bikers and teams threw down the challenge to the twentyfour visitng entries in the informal MTBO event at the Armidale Pine Forest (know affectionately in local MTB circles as the Piney) on December 30. However, they were no match for the more experienced of the visitors, who had been honing their navigational skills at Xmas 5 days foot O events in the Armidale area during the preceding few days. Angus Shedden (Southern Highlands) completed the 20-control scatter course in just 28 minute 58 seconds and narrowly edged out Greg Barbour (Big Foot) by 7 seconds. David Symons was the best of the locals in 34 minutes 10 seconds, combining some local knowledge with previous orienteering experience. He was closely followed by local NEMTB girls Katherine and Isabella Hosking just a further minute or so back. Several riders attempting the 20-control course evidently lost track of which ones they had visited and ended up with only 18 or 19 controls. Had they completed the course their times would have been very competitive. The 10-control course was hotly contested, with Ann Scown (ACT) taking the honours in 23 minutes 51 seconds, closely followed by junior members of the Woolford family. Download full results here. |
