Mammoth Enduro Recap
March 30, 2022
On Sunday 27 March, riders from across the country descended on Nelson for the Mammoth Enduro presented by Santa Cruz. Rain earlier in the week had dried up nicely meaning the trail’s were in near perfect conditions for the racers. The females were allocated the number one race plate and local women’s pro Raewyn Morrison proved she was number one. Rae was on top form to be the fastest overall woman, winning over her closest female rival, Louise Kelly by over two and a half minutes. This was a great riding from Rae as she prepares to head overseas later this year to compete in the Enduro World Series.
