Crank It Cycles mechanic, elite mountain biker, and driving force behind the "Aunt Betty's Racing" Mountain Bike team, Mark "Cabin" Leishman bounced back from cracked ribs in a pre season event to finish 5^th in the first round of the National Mt Bike XC series. The next weekend he won the Matarangi Intrigue endurance event in Coromandel flew to Dunedin the next day to finish 4^th in the 2^nd round.

The following weekend he won the National title in the Hillclimb event on his ultralight Giant full suspension bike. A 5^th in round 3 of the National XC series at Rotorua earned Cabin an invitation to join the NZ team in the 07 Oceania Games.
