We've gone to great lengths lately to avoid posting race news from anywhere other than Queensland. Unfortunately that tenacious little punk Patto somehow managed to slip this into my Inbox, thereby ruining everything.

82 riders made the trek to Toowoomba this weekend to compete in the QLD 4X State Championships. With numbers the highest ever turn out for a State Round in Australia, it was looking to be a great day. With 31 degree heat everyone was sweating it out. But there was one guy who didn’t look like the weather was bothering him. He was the one man everyone was watching in awe. The Rainbow Jersey of Jared Graves was carving up the track and was looking good for the win.
Firstly we must thank our Major Sponsors who have helped to put the event together and put up the prize money for Elite Men, so thank you Supersports, Ashgrove Cycles & Vizion Shopfitters.

South Africa's Greg Minnaar (Santa Cruz Syndicate) is recovering in hospital after a crash at the weekend saw him break his collarbone, and have surgery on his left leg for the treatment of blood clots that had formed after the accident. The medical term for this injury to his leg is 'compartment syndrome'.
The multiple World Cup Champion was competing in a regional Hare Scramble enduro event, about 45 minutes from his home town of Pietermaritzburg, as part of his preparation for the Roof Of Africa Enduro scheduled for later this month.
Full story here. |

The Beerburrum Six downhill was held on the weekend. The aim of the game was to punch out as many runs as possible on the Beerburrum Downhill track in six hours with the winner taking home $1000 cold hard cash!
The shuttles ran smoothly all day allowing the top riders to break the 60 run mark. Needless to say there were many shattered bodies by the end of the day!
Results
1 Lindsay Klein 64*
2 Tim McCullogh 64
3 Shane Wode 63
4 Michael Manning 61
5 Camillo Sanchez 59
6 Cameron Allonby 58
7 Aaron Cairns 57*
8 Craig Horsefield 57
9 Matthew King 56
10 Isaac Denny 54

With the National Champs being moved to South Australia for at least the next three years a new website has been launched to keep you abreast of all the info you need for this strange town halfway between nowhere.
REMEMBER it is only a couple of days before the tour down under where Cadel Evans and Lance Armstrong will both be making an appearance (and who knows maybe one/both might show up at the nationals) regardless accommodation will be tight so get your self sorted early!
