Clover Challenge

The Taupo Mountain Bike Club’s Clover Points Race had a chaotic start with 51 riders in all directions heading to the circuit of choice. Some riders had done some home work and found which circuits were faster and worth more points than others, while others played it by ear.

The Clover Points races was a welcome change from the usual follow-the-leader format, and maximised the use of great tracks in the Wairakei Forest, all close to the carpark. It was a fun event, but with some serious and close racing going on within the categories.
