TOTS DH3 2007 Kaka Ridgeline
Forecast was for rain all day - but Nelson did it's thing again! The first event back on the re-opened Ridgeline course was just fantastic, with dirty dark rain clouds surrounding the ranges around Nelson but never quite making their way to Kaka Hill. The revamped course was a real hit with riders commenting on just how brutal the riding surface is. Plenty of grins though, and not too much crashing were the order of the day.
Thanks to all the event supporters: Hirequip (trucks) and Hirepool (digger rental); Bennetts Plumbing and Alex Bint for more transport; Rob, Marama and Andy from BikeHQ for the generous spot prize donation; Watties for the baked beans; Kieran Bennett, Alex Bint, Peter Olerenshaw, Richard Adams and PC Cooper for driving; MediMax for the first aid cover; Hancocks Forest Management for the use of a prime piece of gravity real estate; the Four Peaks entrants for being so patient; Julie Bennett and Pauline Miller for the ace finish line timing service and the marshalls up on course.
Awesome day!
