A group of 18 riders headed to Gisborne for the RaboDirect BMX North Island Titles 2011 over Labour Weekend with great success.
A range of riders aged from 5 years to over 50, both male and female, represented Taupo.
With new sponsored shirts for the event, the team of Taupo riders looked very smart and ready to race. A number of riders were competing in the North Island for the first time and they were looking forward to the big event.
Many riders were defending North Island titles and supporters were anticipating some great racing.
Some races were determined by points overall for six mottos, while others were determined by points added and a Dead Man final for the top eight riders.
