CRATERS CLASSIC 2008
Well, weren't we all just lucky with the weather!� After a period of wind and rain the previous night, the morning dawned fine, clear and crispy.� Perfect riding conditions.� And just in case we needed any reminding about which age group is best at sprinting, it was Junior riders who were fastest on both the 17 km Fun Course and the 32 km Enduro Course.� But when it comes to 41 km the mature riders can still dominate, as Stu Houltham, Tim Wilding, Matt Dewes, Darry Stevens and Mike Northcott all demonstrated (though it was Junior rider Nick Cameron on their heels in 6th overall).
