Mountain Bike Racing: Winter Series Round 4
There were several members of WSW & Tri club in action today at Thetford Forest contesting the final round of the Whyte Winter Series. A pleasantly warming sun gave almost perfect racing conditions. The atmosphere was superb. With each lap only being about 6 miles long it was a short but technically challenging course. The top guys managed to complete 6 laps in the 2 hour race. Member’s results:
2 Hour race: Jeremy Waterson 42nd (5 laps), Matthew Soame 70th (4 laps).
2 Hours Vets: Richard Emmerson (WSW/Team flow) 31st, James Bidewell 103rd.
Male 4 hour Vets: Richard Muchmore (Revel Outdoors) must have either had a major problem on his second lap or there was a issue with the timings because it was recorded as having taken more than three hours. [Update 1: We have since discovered that it was the latter and there must have been a problem with Richard's timing chip and he, in fact, finished "8th or 9th". Update 29/2/12: We are pleased to report that Richard's official time has been corrected and it is confirmed that he completed 9 laps in 4 hours 7 minutes and finished 9th.]
With the Winter Series now over, the next challenge is the Mud, Sweat and Gears series, watch this space......
