NSW State Gravity Enduro Series 2023 Rnd 3 Stromlo ACT, Trails View Cycle Trader Team Race Report

NSW State Gravity Enduro Series 2023 Rnd 3 Stromlo ACT

A small team of 2 riders attended the 3rd round of the Aus cycling NSW GE series at Stromlo Act Stromlo is a favorite riding destination for many with a mixture of xc, enduro and downhill trails, the race saw just under 200 riders attending. The weather was a mixture from 4 degrees at 8am to a tropical 18 degrees out of the wind.

Blake Randall, Elite E-Bike

It was another epic weekend racing bikes, I grabbed 3rd place in the Elite E- Bike class, after 3 weeks of the bike with some broken ribs, this race was brutal. Some much needed training with the help from Dan @Dan Smith - MTB23 will be happening before the next stop!

 

Mathew Edwards, Elite E-bike

This weekend, i mixed it up a little as i had an offer to race an E-Bike from the team @VMG bikes Typhon Enduro Electric Mountain Bike Australian designed, This was the 1st time i have ever raced an E-bike and i was unsure what to expect, and just to make it a little more challenging i decided to enter the Elite class with some fast young riders. On Saturday we had the E-bike stage, this was brutal with what felt like a climb straight up a cliff with some boulders to scramble over. i was pleased the hear the i was only 1 of 3 riders to clear the most technical features with most of the racers jumping of and walking the features. Unfortunately for me i was held up by another rider near the end that cost me some valuable time. Sunday saw us racing the same stages as the rest of the field and was a mixture of technical decents with some cross country peddling mixed in. The day went smoothly enough with no issues and saw me finish in 4th place. A big thanks has to go out to Chris at VMG bikes for letting me ride his awesome machinery.

 

Next race is the Rocky Trails superflow series at Jollynose
Big thanks again to our Team Sponsors
