Nelson is hosting the NZ National Mountain Bike Championships this weekend. There are two classifications, downhill and cross country with age groups within each. They take place in multiple runs over 3 and 2 days respectively. The surrounding hills of Nelson provide a perfect backdrop for such an event. I attended one of the races on Saturday. The temps were hovering around 23C/72F and the winds were very, very gusty. The course was about 2 miles from our place and, appropriately, I rode my bike. They actually allowed spectators on the course and I rode up part of it. However, I do know my limits.
