RaboPlus New Zealand MTB Cup to Queenstown this weekend

Coronet Peak will host the next round, both downhill and cross country, of the South Island New Zealand Mountain Bike Cup on February 14-15 in Queenstown.

Saturday's downhill race will feature New Zealand's top downhillers as well as a handful of international visitors who have consistently bumped the New Zealanders off the podium this summer. It's the penultimate race in the nation's downhill series.
