Qualifying took place under blue skies and at the end of the day times were tight across all categories!

For the women Danni Beecroft was the fastest, Sarah Booth was just 0.46 arrears, Tegan Molloy was third, fourth was Kellie Weinert and rounding out the top five was Michelle Crisp.

Mt Stromlo – Australian National Round 2

Back racing, yeeewww!
Back racing, yeeewww!

For round 2 of the Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) national series we head to the nation’s capital, Canberra and Mount Stromlo. This park has held world championships, world cups, countless national and state races so it is a well known beast. A lot of riders have commented that it is fun to ride but hard to race, especially with the large sprint at the end. With the first days of practice done we have RF Photographics giving us a run down on the event so far.

We have love for all the media crew that bring you images and videos of the section, shout outs to you all!

There was plenty of line choice/discussion near the top of the track as riders could gain valuable seconds here.
