South Australian and Olympic hopeful Chris Jongewaard led the 100km Lowan Otway Odyssey MTB Marathon from start to finish to establish himself as the pre-eminent mountain biker in Australia at present yesterday. A very strong field including 2004 Olympian Sid Taberlay, World 24 hour Champion Tinker Juarez, defending champion Murray Spink and Australian representative Dan McConnell were put to the sword from the very first climb of the day.
