Bryn Atkinson Scores Silver at the '08 Australian DH Championships
Canberra, Australia (January 27, 2008) Dylan Dean Designs' factory rider Bryn Atkinson scores Silver on Australia day at the 2008 Australian Mountain Bike Championships on the slopes of Mt Stromlo in Canberra, Australia.
After qualifying 1st, ahead of defending Australian National DH champ Nathan Rennie, Bryn knew he had a shot at the title. "I had a pretty descent run," said Bryn. "I had to improvise in a couple of different sections, but I've been running flats lately, so it kinda makes it a little bit easier when stuff happens. Ya know... all you have to do is lean back & go for it!"
On race day, Bryn knew he had to "PINN" it! Although the course lacked in steepness, it still proved to be a challenge as the lower section had large amounts of pedaling, sapping riders of their energy. Even with a stellar run, Bryn fell just shy of the win. Excited about his outstanding result, Bryn is looking forward to building off this momentum as he works on his training for the 2008 World Cup season.
