Margaret River mountain bikers delivered impressive performances at the recent 2024 AusCycling MTB Enduro National and Oceania Championships held at Wellington National Park in Collie.
Marking the first time a national-level enduro event was held in WA, Capes riders seized the opportunity to shine on national and international stages.
Veteran rider Roly Kyme represented the region with a strong fifth-place finish in the Oceania Championships on October 17.

In the elite women’s division, Jahla Tosh put forth a stellar ride to secure fifth place.
The October 19 races saw junior and e-bike categories take on the trails.
Margaret River’s young talent stood out, with Meg McKenzie taking second in the under-17 girls and Sage Dingey earning third in under-15s.
The junior boys performed strongly as well, with Tommy Lukac claiming third and Travis Smith fifth in the under-15 division, while Mitch Delfs placed fourth in the e-bike category.
The success of Margaret River riders in Collie highlighted the region’s dedication to the sport, a Margaret River Off-Road Cycling Association spokesperson said.
