Thread: Mud Race GNCC

The last round of the NZ GNCC series at Maddix Park was another mudder again this year. I quite like a good mud race so was quite happy about it haha. I wasn’t too stoked about the random decision to start intermediates on the last row for a mud race though - especially when intermediates have never been on the last row before. It caused quite a few holdups during the first lap with traffic jams from riders in the rows in front. Luckily I got another good start and managed to pick my way through it all and stay steady for the race with only a few hiccups. Wrestling the bike around slippery track for 2 hours sure does test the fitness!

I was pretty stoked to finally get a win in the intermediate 2-stroke class which had me finishing up the series second in class which I was stoked with since I crashed out of the first round. It was also my best overall result getting 25th overall amongst the experts and other classes too.

Good fun on the bike.

My cousin Luke (seen in the photo above) is a very good top 10 cross country racer here in New Zealand. I talked him into wearing a camera for the race last weekend too. Here is the footage:
