R&R Sport / PNP MTB XC Series 2012

The PNP Cycling Club is into its 9th year of running their popular spring Mountain Bike Cross Country 5 round Series, beginning Sunday 2nd Sep 2012 at Wainuiomata Trail Park, Wainuomata.

R&R SPORT are our Gold Sponsor for the Series and are supplying $500 of spot prizes at every round plus three $1,000 spot prize vouchers at the final round. 

There are 15 different classes that cater for all levels of ability and fitness.
Entry level riders are encouraged to take part in the “Recreation” Men’s and Women’s grade.  They will ride the easiest trails available (course marked D) and the winner will take about 1 hour.

The next level up is “Enduro” (course marked C).  This class is for male riders 20 to 49 years old who are above Recreation level but not up to the full distance of Senior Men and Master 1 or 2 Men.  Last year the Enduro class was the most popular grade.
Age grade classes run from Under 13 right through to Master 3 50+, and Elite Men (courses marked A, B and C).

Entry fees are $20 to $30 per race depending on your age and PNP Club membership.
$5 of your entry fee is passed to the land managers/clubs for track building/maintenance.
Those who pay for all races before or on 2nd Sep get 1 race free and get 10 entries into the draw for the major spot prizes.  Otherwise you get 1 entry in the draw for every race you enter.

There is prize giving at every round with medals from PNP and spot prizes from R&R Sport and many other sponsors. At the final we also present series trophies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd except Recreation.  Perpetual Series Cups are presented to 1st Elite Man and 1st Senior Woman.  The best 4 results of the 5 round bicycle Series will determine your final Series placing.

College riders' points are accumulated over the Series for their College.  The highest scoring College over 5 rounds wins the "PNP College Shield".
