Queensland saw the wrap up of the Mountain Cross Super Series over the weekend on the newly constructed track in Toowoomba. Full credit must be given to the Toowoomba MTB club for building a track that was technical, long and fast. The track provided us with fantastic racing in all classes, with passes galore and just as many crashes. With over 70 riders for the last round it made for a very successful race.
