April 26 marked the fourth round of the Sunshine Series XC (cross-country) round, hosted by Kenmore Cycle Club and held out at their Mt Crosby race course.
The day prior, the club enlisted Cyclinic coach Aiden Lefmann along with other notable QLD XC riders to run a two-hour junior skills development morning, to get the kids comfortable with the challenging course.
It was no wonder then, when the juniors put in an impressive effort, showing that there's a strong future for the sport in the coming years!
Cyclinic riders, Aiden Lefmann, Glenn Stewart and Anna Beck all raced the gruelling 6km course, which consisted of long, open grassy climbs, technical rock gardens, steep pinches and steep (but fun) chutes.
Aiden Lefmann, skills guru, managed to hold his series lead, taking the win over Mark Frendo with a comfortable margin. Dave Whitney came in third, with out Glenn riding in fourth.
In the women's race, it was a tousle between Anna Beck and Connie Silvestri, but eventually Connie proved the stronger woman, with Anna coming in second—holding the series lead—with Jo Rowall in third.
