Round 3 of the SouthernCross CX series was last weekend at Lake Roto Kohatu. We did an edit for every race last year, but just didn't for the first two of this year. Well, we finally got our s*$t together and everyone was out for this race.

What an epic day at Gravity Canterbury's Craigieburn Enduro. The weather was warm, but beautiful and the trail conditions were perfect.

This was Gravity Canterbury's first enduro of the year, held in the Port Hills. It was dusty and loose out there, which made for some pretty intense stages, particularly the Gnarly Nun stage.

They say you always learn something from every race, I certainly learnt a lot from this one! Guest blog by Jordan Pearson.

What a hard course! With some long steep climbs and a good amount of mud, this course was NOT single-speed friendly.
