Harris does it again
;) ;) The
third race in the Winter Series of mountain bike races, run by New
England Mountain Bikers (NEMTB), was held on the 11.2 k track at the
Armidale Pine Forest on Sunday. This is the longest track used at the
piney and hence the open men's and women's races were reduced from four
to three laps. In the Open Men's division, David Harris and Peter
Hosking rode tooth and nail all the way around with little separating
them. In the end David won by just 22 seconds with Peter second yet
again. Peter rode his new super light bike, but will need to find
another way to get across the line first. Third was Stephen Chapman
with Ashley Smith, from Tamworth, fourth. Jo Benham made her long
awaited return to the mountain bike with a good effort to win the Open
Women's section. She had a good tussle with Holly Harris who easily won
the Under 19 section. Holly just piped Jo on the line. In the
Sport division, the men's race was won by Jacob O'Brien. The women's
division won by Lisa Harris from Shireen Brunckhorst. Third was the
ever-improving Nina Stone. Nina was impressive on her new bike. In
the under 15's 1 lap race, Kathryn Hosking came in first in front of
sister Bella Hosking. These two girls show no fear of the long 11.2 k
course. ;)
