The final round of the Mud Sweat & Gears Series was held at the mountain bike Olympic venue near Southend.  The full Olympic course was designed to test the best cross country mountain bike racers in the world so the organisers took steps to take out some parts of the course deemed too dangerous for regional level racers.  Nonetheless, it was still a very demanding circuit and not one for the faint hearted.

It was Paul Watson (4th Grand Vet Race) and Rhys Holland-Jones (4th Juvenile Race) who were the club's top finishers.  Also braving the course were Ross McKenzie (8th) and Robin Lines (10th) in the Youth Race. Malcolm Borg finished 12th in the Masters Race. Congratulations to all who raced at this iconic venue.
