Lewis defends title in thrilling finish

By Huw Kingston

After a week of rain, the skies finally cleared to a perfect warm day and the rivers dropped to only waist height for the 3rd running of the VAUDE Highland Fling mountain bike marathon. The event, which doubles as the Australian MTB Marathon Championship, attracted a maximum capacity of 1300 entrants with some 1200 actually starting.

Defending Champion, Shaun Lewis managed to hold onto his title in the Full Fling by a mere six seconds from ACT rider Dylan Cooper after 110 kilometers of racing, Lewis' winning time of 4:22:47 was only four minutes slower than last year held in much quicker conditions. Adrian Jackson from Victoria came in third some 9.35 behind the winner but only four seconds ahead of Mathew Fleming creating an exciting atmosphere at the finish line for the marathon championships.

In the Women's race, Rowena Fry from Tasmania took the title with a time of 5:31:07 ahead of 2006 winner Katrin Van Der Spiegel (5:43:31) with Rosemary Barnes in 3rd in 5:52:44.

Both Shaun Lewis and Rowena Fry were declared the Australian MTB Marathon Champions and can proudly wear the Maillot Tartane, the tartan jersey until next year.

In the 100Mile Fling (161km), Dennis Van Mill from Port Macquarie once again showed his endurance abilities by taking the title in 8:05:34 ahead of Andrew Fellowes (8:34:48) and Craig Armour (9:10:30).
