Wide Open has just hooked Samara Sheppard up with this sweet 2011 Turner Flux, kicking the stickered carbon hardtail she’s been riding out the door. Samara will be racing it for the first time this weekend at the 80km Huka XL in Taupo.

Tim Pierce just dropped the second Wide Open team profile. This time Nelson lad Kelly McGarry gets the love. YEAH!

SHA UPDATES KELLY'S WEBSITE!

That’s right, Kelly McGarry’s blog is actually getting updated thanks to his girlfriend Sha. She gave the following reasons.

1. I type MUCH faster than Kelly

2. I like to update you on what’s up

3. Kelly is too busy riding his bike to write about himself on a blog

He’s been a busy boy visiting his US sponsors, Turner, Atomlab, ODI and SDG and by the time you read this he’ll be in Europe.
