World Cup in Canmore, Canada 2008

The 24hrs of Adreneline, World Cup in Canmore, Canada was an awesome event and Aussie & Kiwi riders took home gold and dominated the podium. Ay Up powered riders Andy Fellows, Jeff Toohey, Thomas Lindup, Darren Clarke and Melinda Behrens all finished the race with awesome results. See their site here An opportunity not to be missed. Ay Up travelled over to Canada to help support the many riders taking part in the race. Within a day he had is bike nicked in downtown Vancouver (the trusty old BMC is no more) donned a new Scalpel and had singletrack confrontations with a Black Bear and a Grizzly!

With 4 days set aside to drive from Vancouver to Canmore it was always going to be tough with so many trails to discover. One of the best single tracks ridden was close to Lake Louise and the scenery was stunning.

Victory is sweet .... Ay Up rider Andy Fellows takes out the 24hr Solo World Cup in his age group, 25 - 29

Congratulations Andy on a fantastic result raced on a brutal course in the Rocky Mountains.

New Zealand Ay Up rider Thomas Lindup took out the win in the under 25 category, fantastic work Thomas!

Jeff Toohey battled a tough race in the Elite class finishing an awesome 4th position, legendary stuff! Well done Jeff.

Melinda Behrens from sunny Queensland took on the course and finished a fantastic 10th in the Female Elite class, well done Melinda and good on ya Davo, the support you gave your mum was tremendous and he did it with a smile on his face the whole 24hrs.

With any 24hr race you will be nowhere without your support crew, Darren Clark from Ay Up USA was coming home for a podium finish with 4 hours to go when he was blinded due to the terrible muddy conditions thanks to huge thunderstorms storms during the race. He finished after a 2 hour break while is eyes were flushed out and sent on his way by his lovely Bri. Pictured here helping the medics working on Darren. Still smiling, that's after staying up for
over 30hrs.

Darren at the finish with 20% useful vision.

The Insomnia 24hr just outside of Brisbane has been run. It was a huge success with many sponsored riders on the podium. Naomi Hanson & Stuart Wilkes took out the fastest laps, Prue Oswin took the females solo win and Race Elements / For The Riders took the overall win. All powered by Ay Up Lighting ....

  Andy Fellow's and Andrew Wilcher were both on form taking out the teams win.

The big bog holes out on the track took its toll on bikes but it was fun !
