On Friday the 13th of June, Tauranga Intermediate sent two teams to the Bay of Plenty/Poverty Bay Mountain Biking Champs in Taupo. These teams included Kai, Ollie, Campbell, James, Jack, Abbey. One team went down to Taupo the day before the race to ride the course which was approximately 6km long. On the day of the race, there were seven heats, five boys heats and two girls heats with about 20 riders each. To get into the boys final, riders had to place in the top 3 in their heat. Several riders from Tauranga Intermediate reached the final in both the boys and girls races. In the boys final, Kai placed 6th, Campbell placed 8th, Oliver who was two seconds behind came 9th and Jack finished in 10th. The event also included a team competition. Each team’s top 4 placings from the heat races were added up, the team with the lowest score winning. Tauranga’s first team placed 2nd with 8 points and the second team came 3rd with 11 points. Overall it was a great day of racing.
