Results: Furniture Walk Mountain Bike Race #7
The seventh race of the 2017-2018 Furniture Walk Mountain Bike Race Series presented by Gubinelli Mendoza Wines, Arch Insurance, and Becks Beer was held at Southlands recently, with 78 riders turning out.
A spokesperson said, “This was the second extended race format, with A, B and Veterans class being combined and running a 75 minute race. The rest of the competitors ran their normal race times. As with the first long format race, a few competitors moved down a class to avoid the longer race time. And a couple of adventurous racers moved up to get the full Southlands course experience!
“An additional stair decent and steep climb were added for the extended race. While everyone appeared to enjoy the challenge, most of the marathon riders had haggard looks towards the end and the general finish line pose was more of a gasping, head bowed and resting on the seat, rather than dabs and wheelies!
“Male B Had the largest field with 25 entries. [all of whom finished!] Ziani Burgesson, Nick Narroway and Chequan Richardson led the way on the first lap and Ziani and Nick traded position during the race. Ultimately, Nick Got the win with Ziani second and Chequan taking a distant third.
“In Veteran class, Hans Hirchi had some challenge from Grant Goudge and David Bryne. But after the first lap, Hans ran away with it and Grant Held off David for second.
“In the Female 12 and under class, Hailey Trott showed her experience as she navigated the junior course for her win. Skye Ferguson did a fantastic job to claim second place.
