Brisbane rider Mark Frendo held off a late challenge from Sydney's Nick Both to become the inaugural winner of Queensland's first mountain bike marathon today at Kooralbyn. Frendo broke away from Sydney rider Nick Both at the halfway mark near Boonah to win in 3:40:10. Queensland University student, Frendo says his preparation has not been ideal. "I didn't even get on the bike yesterday and I've got two assignments due tomorrow," explained Frendo. Second and third were two Sydney riders who flat together, Nick Both and Mike Blewitt from the competitive Flight Centre Team. Just two minutes down on Frendo, Both could not get closer than 10 seconds during the last half of the race. "I got a gap on Nick on that huge climb then I held him off until the end," stated Frendo post-race. Blewitt was a further 15 minutes further behind.

The women's winner, Lee Schultz of Toowong, convincingly beat multi-sport athlete, Narelle Ash across the line after the two changed lead throughout the 85km. Schultz finished 25th overall riding a credible 4:39:03. Two time National Junior Cross Country Champion, Erica Oldfield from Ipswich, finished 30 minutes behind Schultz in her first ever endurance event. Schultz and Oldfield will continue the battle for leadership of the State's Sunshine Series when Round 4 continues on the Gold Coast next Sunday.

The half marathon was won by Master rider, Alan Mumford of Cornubia, who rode 63 km in 3:25:14. Second was Gary Freudigmann followed by Justin Claridge. Fourth was Mumford's son, Tim.

Three hundred riders made it home with a couple of competitors from the Gold Coast choosing to ride a tandem mountain bike. One handed rider, John Pinnell from Gatton finished in 34th position in his age category while his friend, Wade Seccombe, who plays wicketkeeper for the Queensland Bulls, came 18th in his division.
