Well John Webster absolutely dominated again! A week before he and Jeff Anderson leave for China, John put on an amazing show. On some very difficult sections John ended with only 4 dabs including 6 cleans on the 2nd lap! Jeff was 2nd with 17 and Dave Herr 3rd with 24.

It was an absolutely spectacular September day......the smell of burgers (thanks to the Goodwins) in the air, and the sound of Magura's also in the air! Not as many riders as I'd hoped for but with Soccer starting it seemed like a few of the younger riders had other commitments.

In Poussin, Danielito Chernetski took the win over Chase Fraser. In Novice Kory Jenkins repeated from last year. In Femina Chantal Laurie took the win over first timer Haley Martin. In some very difficult Sport sections Jesse Ellingson beat out rival John Goodwin 9 points to 18 for John with an ever improving Kevin Minato 3rd with 25. In 4th was the amazing 10 year old Mitchell Long. In Expert Kevin Lui just barely beat out Jonathon Tollerud (honourary Canadian along with Pete Hellenbrand) 14 to 15 with a returning Chris Hii 3rd with 24. In Master (over 30) Ian Johansen took a convincing win over Chris Jenkins and Felix Lee.

John rode incredibly on the day. Section 1 was a "speed section" with riders getting points depending on their time. John, Jeff and Dave all made it thru the first lap barely under 1 minute which was a clean. Sections 2 and 3 were on the rocks and were both very "do-able" although very much work! Sections 4,5 and 6 were in the trees a little ways out in the forest. Section 5 especially was about a 50 -60 foot elevation gain from start to finish with only John and Dave making it.

John and Jeff leave thursday for China so watch here for updates!

I will post more pics soon on flickr (photo page)
