After Government House hosted the first race in the Fat Tire Massive Mountain Bike Series a couple of weeks ago, the second venue had a lot to live up to.

But the terrain of South Shore provided a very different test for nearly 100 cyclists, who coped with the hills and sand from Chaplin Bay to Horseshoe Bay on Sunday.

Connor White, the winner at Government House was not attempting to double up and in his absence, it was left to Kavin Smith to win the Men’s open divison after completing 11 laps in a time of 1hr 2min 32sec.

The race proved tight with eight men completing 11 laps in the allotted time of an hour but Smith prevailing by doing it in the quickest time.

Jennifer Wilson beat her only rival Ashley Robinson to win the Women’s Open.

Daniel Ringer beat Dominic Smith and Dave Wolffe to win the Male Open 30-min category with Rebecca May coming out on top in the Women’s 30-minute division.

Gordon Smith and Kelise Wade won the 13-16 age-group races with Jens Drea and Daisy Langley claiming top honours among cyclists aged 9-12.
