After Round 1 of the 7hr cross country grand prix being post postponed twice due to bad weather, it finally kicked off on Monday 1st April at Awaba on a perfect autumn day. With special thanks to Richard Napper and Brent Dravitzki racing the 2UP in the Elite 2 Man team, coming an impressive 2nd place in their category. I would have to say how proud we are of them and the 2UP when you consider the very same frame has taken podium in the Australian and State Downhill series. Again, this proves that the 2UP is the perfect All Mountain bike for any style of riding. This now brings the achievement of the 2UP to 24 podium positions.
