Fellows and Wall register early wins at Bike Buller Mountain Bike Festival
Media Release - Rapid Ascent / 05.03.2011
Three of the festival’s five event line-up got underway, beginning with the 25km XC course snaking its way up, down and around the flanks of Mounts Buller and Stirling. Riders tackled a highly technical course featuring steep descents and tight switchbacks, the degree of difficulty balanced out by the quality of views across the back ranges, enjoyed mostly by the back-of-packers. Up the front, the elites were head down, tempo up, Ay Up Team leader Andy Fellows registering a dominating win in a time of 1:13:28 ahead of Tim Wynam (1:16:02) and Michael Crosbie in third (1:16:46). <br />

It was an impressive performance by Fellows, who only this week won the Mountains to Beach five-day stage race in NSW before driving the 12 hours from Narooma to register for Bike Buller. <br />
Alexander Meyland’s overall fourth placing was also notable for the fact that he is a Junior. <br />
