First Round of Sunshine Series Mt Crosby, Done and Dusted

Well there was a great showing of the Noosa Trailblazers down in Brisbane last weekend for the 1st round of the Sunshine Series XC. There was some great results: Jack Jude took out first and Nathan King third in the under 15's, Emil Vejby coming in 8th. Seb Vejby came 2nd and Jesse Hill came 7th in the under 17's with Ethan Kelly at his first race came 9th in the same division. Nick and Josh Dodds both did well in the under 11's with a 4th and 9th respectively. Rodger Pogson-Manning stepped up to the under 19's but unfortunately flatted. David Whisker at his first Sunshine series XC race placed a very respectable 18th in the masters division.
Well done to all the riders, a great effort and showing for the club.
 A final mention should be made to the crazy president who decided to do a long training ride..... over 200kms from Pomona to Mt Crosby to give support and encouragement to his fellow riders. Well done Greg!!!

May 2nd 6 hour Enduro at Canungra



What a great day of racing there was on Sunday 2nd May down at Benobble, Canungra located 40 minutes inland from the Gold Coast. The fine weather and the well organised event put on by Bill and Libby from Two Wheels promotions created a fantastic atmosphere for the riders who all had a great time. The track was just over 6 kms with approximately 200 metres of climbing per lap, it consisted of single track, switchbacks, fire roads and flowing downhill sections.

Cognition entered some of our top young guns in the 3 man school junior division. We had Roger Pogson-Manning, Jack Jude and Sebastian Vejby. The guys did an awesome job doing 14 laps not only taking 1st place in their division but their laps and time would of given them first place in the 3 man team division. What a fantastic achievement!

Noosa Trailblazers Soren Vejby, Lester Manning and Justin Thompson all had a great race too. Soren came 5th in the 2 man team with his friend Aaron, Lester (solo masters) pumped out 6 laps on his single speed and Justin (solo men) completed 9 laps before he got 2 flats in the 9th lap. If you are keen to check out the track, have a look at this video footage here; its the same venue at a previous event.
Well done and congratulations guys!
