Dirk Peters wins final round of the Mid-Nth series
Hi everyone it has been a while since I last wrote. Time for an update.
I have been lucky enough to receive a new 2012 Santacruz Blur XC for the New Year. The frame has been redesigned and is a definite improvement from the previous model with beefier tubing resulting in a stronger and stiffer frame. Weight wise it is also a bit lighter and with the new features it is a lot more responsive and rides really nicely.The total bike build easily comes in under 10kg which is not bad for an XL frame.
I have begun working towards the New Zealand summer after enjoying a good offseason. Training started seriously again in mid October and so far it has been going well. I have competed in a few of my usual build up races including the Mid North Island series and the Rotorua to Ohope road race. Unfortunately one of our big early season races the Huka XL in Taupo had to be called off due to the weather. High winds were making things extremely dangerous in the forest with trees and branches coming down all over the place and the organisers made the right decision by calling the race off. It ended up being shortened with the results getting taken from where everyone was at the point that the race was stopped. As a result I ended up with second place which wasn’t too bad considering although it would obviously been nice to have completed the full course and had a true race.
This weekend I managed to pilot the new machine to its first win at the final round of the Mid North Island Champs here in Rotorua. It was a good race with plenty of riders travelling to have a crack at the new rock garden we have built for the Oceania Champs in March next year.
Over the next few weeks, training is going to be really important with time flying by and the National series kicking off down in Dunedin on January 15th. Before then I will probably take part in the new summer race here in Rotorua, the Pig & Whistle Tour de Whaka and do my best to get out and make the most of the summer weather.

ENVY DH Carbon Bar
Our mountain bars: Riser, Sweep and now DH (New for 2011), were designed on the trail. Our experiences, thoughts, and ideas turned into angles and shapes, that place your hands in natural and confident positions. The goal was to achieve the perfect balance of strength, comfort, and durability in a lightweight package. Rider feedback confirms that the extra width and flexibility of our mountain bars provides comfort and control for any trail condition. So when you get the chance to upgrade to this product, know that you are in for the best experience a bar can offer

ENVY Carbon Wheels
The ENVE XC, while being the lightest in our mountain line is far from fragile. With the understanding that what goes down, must come up first, our XC rim is optimized for stiffness, weight, and durability. The ENVE XC rim is made for cross country racers and trail riders alike, and is only limited by the amount of free time you have to ride them. In 2011, through an extensive development process, we made the jump to tubeless compatibility completing the requirements for the optimal mountain rim that can be used day in and day out. So, if the mention of 100K makes you think of riding and not the amount of money you want to make, then this rim is for you.
