Racing at Woodhill!

Headed up to Woodhill yesterday in pouring rain for the second round of the Auckland Secondary Schools Cross Country Series. It was good to see so many students out there racing. Luckily the rain eased off for the start of the race, was a real fun track to race. I especially enjoyed the downhill bits which were fast and flowed well! The track was quite wet which meant perfect conditions because Woodhill is sand based so a good lot of rain makes the trails nice and firm. However there were a few muddy patches to slide about in, good fun! I had a good start to the race and headed up the first hill strong taking the lead, finished 1st place in Under 19 Women. Real happy with my result and effort! :) Thanks to Sadie, Hira and Rod (the organisers) for a great day.

New Urge Helmet

I want to say a big thank you to Black Seal Imports for the brand new Urge helmet. I'm super stoked with it, fits me perfectly and is super comfy. If you're looking at getting a new full face helmet, Urge helmets are the way to go. 
Auckland Downhill Club held a shuttle day out at Maraetai on Sunday, the track was in perfect conditions, nice and muddy. My favourite! I love riding in the mud. :) However it was rather slippery too which made it more challenging but it was a good opportunity for me improve my skills in these sorts of conditions.
Thanks to all the crew at AKDH for organising the shuttle day. Was a great day in out in the mud!
