Peter Hosking came across the line first in the latest race
in the Winter Series of races run by New England Mountain Bikers (NEMTB) on
Sunday. The race was run on a shortened 9.3 km track at the Armidale Pine
Forest as one section was closed due to muddy sections. In what is
believed to be a first, the first three finishes were riding Santa Cruz
bikes. Giants and Yetis were relegated to minor places. Hosking has
been second in countless NEMTB races and has finally won one. He was
pushed all the way by Ben Brunckhorst for line honours. Ben finished just
3 seconds behind Peter after nearly one and a half hours riding. Third
was John Hamilton.
In the Junior short track race, Bailey Thomas won from
Jayden Williamson from Inverell. The 2 lap Sports Female race was won by
Shireen Brunckhorst from Julie Williamson. Julie came over from Inverell
and was impressive in her first mountain bike race. The 2 lap Sports Male
race was won by Clarry Butcher from his brother Rob. The U15 Race was won
by Bella Hosking, who continues to improve. Fiona Brunckhorst easily beat
Holly Harris to win the female U19 race while Ben Brunckhorst won from Angus
Trenerry in the males race.
Rowena Stockton came over from Dorrigo to win the Open
Female race from Nina Stone. In the open Male category, Peter Hosking won
from John Hamilton with the fast improving Greg Manttan third.
The next race on the calendar is the Grafton race in the
GNATPACK Mid North Coast series on Sunday 17th July. The 5th
NEMTB Winter series race in Armidale in on 7th August.
The AGM for NEMTB in on Wednesday 27th July

Logies” with trophies for a variety of categories covering the past year.
