For me, the Day Night Thriller marks the start of a race season but for many it’ll be just another race in the annual calendar of events. Of course, it does not have to be serious and if you want to turn up dressed as Daffy Duck and ride a penny farthing then you’re free to!
The Auckland MTB Club will be there again looking after the Senior riders and showing off the JAFAKIDS as they race around. We take the BBQ, lights, sounds, EZ Ups and heaters!
Brendan is sorting out the Senior teams for this one. If you are keen to give it a go and want to join a team or want to be part of the Auckland MTB Club mix, drop him an email here.

Well done to the brave souls that made it down to Tokoroa in the cold and the rain. It was not a promising start, with a flat battery and then a blow out on the motorway but Kris sorted it out and the Bigfoot bus was back on course in no time. The rain did not stop the whole way down and the jovial start made way to silence as we watched the wipers continue to go back and forth. By the time we arrived, the rain had eased but for us Aucklanders, the air temperature was a bit lower than ideal! Still, we rode form town to Cougar Park and were shown around the excellent trails that were riding superbly in the wet. After 20 kms, a couple of hours and plenty of rain later, we headed back into town and some warm food.
A great trip and thanks to Mark and Kelly for organising it and to Kris and Bigfoot Adventures for the lift.
Can’t wait till the next one…….
