It was a frosty and unbelievably, given recent heavy rain, mostly mud free Crowhill near Ringwood for round 15 of the Parentini Wessex CX League. Featuring an undulating grassland course with loamy, technical wood section to excite the MTB fans. We had a superb turnout of 37 Sotonia youth riders and support crew making it feel like a ‘home’ race even this late in the season!
Lots of brilliant rides and podiums – Monty in the U12 boys with his familiar attacking style to finish second. Izzy in dominant form once again, winning the U12 girls. Eva, Eve, Billy, Harry, Sophie, Charlie and Niclas also making top five.
Great riding everyone!
