Dora Creek flows with Adventure

Media Release - AROC Sport - Dave Meyer / 15.04.2011

After some land owner issues there was a last minute change of venue but this did not prevent AROC from producing a course worthy of the 600 plus crowd who arrived at Dora Creek Oval ready to race. Some didn’t have the best morning with one team losing a bike of the car roof on the F3 and another dropping their bikes at a wrong location, something they would only discover mid race!

For the Classic teams it was straight into the terrain with a rogaine-style run leg to collect 60pts of CPs worth 3, 5 or 7 points. The scattered location of the CPs was designed to split to the teams up and it sure worked with yellow bibs seen heading in all directions. It was GHD first out of the bush and onto the bikes with a 4 minute lead over Goldfinger.

Next up was some fast fire trail before a short blast along some beautifully manicured single track. GHD stretched their lead to 6 minutes as VO3Max closed in on second. In the female category, Hygenic Lilies had cracker second leg to turn a 13 minute deficit to The Smiling Assassins into a 6 minute lead by the time they hopped of the bike.
