Our 2010 National Mountain Bike Championships is tomorrow! After a 12 month wait it is finally almost happening. Nationals is the pinnacle event of mountain bike racing in New Zealand, drawing our country’s top racers together to fight for a National Champion title. It is D-Day. Top form will be brought to the start lines as many are looking to looking to cash in on months of hard training. Selectors for Worlds will be there – each anticipating to be WOWed by some fast racing on great tracks and this is all happening right here in Wellington.
On Saturday I will competing be in the Cross Country event on Mt Victoria. This is a multi lap 7.3km circuit race that incorporates tough climbs with tricky descents. PNP Cycling club have done a great gob creating this challenging circuit into a top class racing track. It is such a good course to have Nationals on!
Preparation for this very event has been ideal. I have ticked off all the hard training, racing, bonded with my flash as bike and have progressed well with the guidance of Waiariki’s Academy of Sport and my coach Trevor.
I’m looking to do well on my home course, in front of my home crowed but I know this won’t be easy. Competition in my Under23 Woman’s race is tight; Monique Avery and Katie O’Neil will certainly be hard to beat. It is going to be an exciting battle out there, everyone biting tooth and nail to get that National Championship title – Bring it!
