Hi all,

Entries are rolling in and thing are looking great for another successful day in Opotiki. The Motu Road is in a pretty fast state and the river continues to be challenging for the novice. I love hearing all the battle story’s from the water. The levels have been pretty good for training so here’s hoping the downpours continue and we get some rain a few days before the race ensuring we get a good flow yet clear water on the day, water is still cold.

The Scott Motu 160 is going to be a tough but very satisfying challenge. I’ve been silly enough to ride the distance but dam ya feel good afterwards. Or maybe it was a couple of days after. I forgot my Horleys for recovery, instead opting for a few Export 33’s.

That gets me onto my next point. We’re proud to announce a new supporter of our events for 2009.  DB’s Low-Carb beer, Export 33 will be offered to all finishers of both the Bay Trust Opotiki Motu Challenge and the Scott Motu 160. We will also be giving away Export 33 merchandise as spot prizes. We’ll find some top shelf brew for the competitors under 18.

So keep sending in those entry’s and on behalf of the Mutlisport Opotiki team we look forward to seeing you on October 10.
