Colville Connection

Congratulations to Hugo (R18, Totara) and Jack (R36, Rata House), who competed in the 42km Moutain Bike Marathon - THE COLVILLE CONNECTION. A superb effort by two young competitors. Check out the photographs and event description below.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

It's a solid 42km and not for the faint hearted; with steep climbs, single track and gnarly descents this one is for the genuine trail junkie however throw in mix of technical running skills and some kiwi 'can-do' attitude this is an achievable outing for those who don't mind a long walk/run by the beach, great views and going solo. The majority of the course is on private land, not normally accessible to the public - so that's pretty cool!
