A fantastic end to our 2026 season at Cable Bay Adventure Park on Sunday🚲
Just the right amount of rain the night before to keep things interesting for deciding our overall battles🏁
Thanks to everybody who raced, volunteered or supported this year, it wouldn’t have happened without you🙌
Another great event brought to you by Nelson MTB and supported by Felix Laufkotter 👌
Enjoy your cyclocross offseason, check out The Coppermine for your next dose of kids races, XC and longer adventures on 26-27 September⛰️

Just a heads up that there is an approximately 1200m gravel road journey from the main parking area at Cable Bay Adventure Park to our race venue.
You need to cross a bridge then stay on the gravel road next to the river. There will be a portaloo there but no other services.
Happy racing!

Fantastic racing at Branford Park on Sunday🙌

Coming up Sunday, the classic venue of Branford Park🙌
Plenty of room for creativity and a deceptive amount of gradient to make things interesting, always a good course👌

Our regular racing returns with kids, MTB and CX categories at Branford Park next Sunday🙌
Always a classic venue with a surprising amount of elevation and technical challenge for a big “flat” field👌

Following the schools racing we held the South Island Open Champs aimed at more “mature” riders👴👵
The course was well bedded in for some spectacular cyclocross mud conditions 🚲
Fierce battles were had and championship medals were awarded to the winners🏅
Special mention must go to Mahe Meyer who was too young for secondary school racing but completed the whole adults race💪
Thanks to everyone who helped out and the sponsors that helped make the schools race happen:
Scott Construction Bowater Motor Group Maxxis Tyres Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park Rutherford Hotel Nelson
Our next regular race with Kids/MTB/CX grades is at Branford Park on August 2nd, see you there👀
