Mountain Bikers back for more Capital Punishment - ACT
Dave Meyer - AROC Sport / 27.01.2011
Kowen Forest, Sutton Rd XC track, Majura Pines and the world class Stromlo Forest Park all feature. All this with 30min of the city centre!The inaugural edition of the Capital Punishment MTB Enduro lived up to the name with wet and muddy conditions forcing over half of the 2000 riders to prematurely end their race with only the hardest competitors completing the full course. After selling out in 2010 the 2011 event is well on the way to repeating that feat with entries coming in fast.
Defending champion Jason English will return but will have to fend off the likes of Craig Gordon, Matt Flemming, Brent Miller and Joel Ryan. Becky Mates, third in 2010, is looking to take the overall win in 2011 which may be made easier with Heather Logie, the defending women’s champion yet to commit to the race.
