Andy Blair and Peta Mullens are the new Australian MTB Marathon Champions after their display of skill and strength at the 2012 Australian MTB Marathon Championships held at Stromlo Forest Park.
The 84km course, split under the new UCI rules that allow long laps to make up the total course length, into two laps of 42km used almost all of the fire-road and awesome singletrack available. The course was a true test of what MTB is all about with steep climbs and technical descents.
