Dan Warren takes A's & Hayley Davis snatches B's

Hayley Davis deep in concentration on her way to winning the B race series.

After some last minute pre weekend race prep the day was magic 20 degrees plus and the biggest turn out for this season. 2012 is looking promising already and we'll be announcing dates for a couple of summer events along with our 2012 winter series very soon. We are currently working with sponsors to promote next seasons events which will include an NZ series 4-5 races from Auckland to Queenstown. Potentially with riders from Australia to add a international flavour to the winter months.

Dan Warren our New Zealand CX Champ took out today A race in style powering away in the last laps from Gary Hall and Josh Page, Ben Ross took the overall prize for 1st junior from the 4 race series. The B event had a re shuffle from our last race podium with Marko Zatezalo topping the leader board after coming 3rd in the last event, Hayley Davis and Laura Harris completed the podium with Hayley Davis taking out the B race series overall.

Our future champions event kids under 12, saw Mitchell Heney clear away from 2nd place Jacob Cooper with 3rd place & first girl going to Casey Stent.

A great location at Pakowhai Country Park Hastings saw fast dry conditions, a couple of muddy holes and a steep flood bank run. Riders started today's event by running 50m with their bikes to the first single track where they were allowed to mount their machines. This set for a rampant start and really mixed things creating a lot of chaos. Due to some dry weather condition in this week the gravel sections and off road tracks were hard and fast calling for a high skill level with a lot of loose unstable shingle.

Finally the afternoon was finished off with most peoples first spring BBQ courtesy of Will & Andy's Gourmet Sausages that went down a fine treat while everyone toasted Springs first day of sun tanning!

Now that cyclocross is finished in the Bay for 2011 a team of CXHB riders are planning to make a trip down to Wellington in September for the North Island CX champs held by The Bike Hutt in Upper Hutt. If anyone is keen please contact us and we'll reserve a spot for you.

A big thanks goes to all the volunteers and organising committee for set up and clearing of the course without the strong support from Hawkes Bays local cycling community we could not have made this years series the success it was.

A big thanks also goes out to Ramblers Cycling Club and the Hawkes Bay Mountain Bike club (Pan Pac), Hawkes Bay Regional Council and Hastings District Council who have supported the events and we hopefully continue to work together in 2012's bib to host the NZ Cyclocross Champs in the Bay.

Lastly a big thanks for the following sponsors who provided prizes:

The Old Church Restaurant,

The Hub Cycle Centre

Avantiplus Hastings

Raiseys Sports Nutrition

Worralls Ltd Auckland.

The Shot Coffee.

Hoops BBQ hire

Wil & Andy's Gourmet Sausages.

Looking forwards to the summer ahead and recommend all keen crossers to visit there local bike shops and order a cyclocross bike early for next years events. Join a few Mountain Bike events throughout summer and ride your cross bike to get familiar with the position and you'll be half way to having the most fun with a bike on the planet.

See ya next year.
