Last weekend saw the team in action at events right across the country for the annual Regional Championship races, where each regional organiser in the UK puts on a Championship race giving riders the chance to be named the Regional Champion for the season.
Welsh XC Championships – Despite being an Expert category racer, Jake Phelps was up against Wales’s best Elite riders for the Champs, with some strong competition! Jake put in an exceptional ride to finish in Silver Medal position on the hilly and technical course at Fforest Fields, Builth Wells.

Southern Champs – Joe Griffiths took to the start line at the Southern XC held at former National XC Venue, Wasing Estate, Berkshire. Despite facing some experienced competition, Joe, riding only his 2nd season in the Elite category, finished a very respectable 4th, just a few seconds off the podium and following on the back of a heavy week of training in prep for the National XC at Dalby Forest in a week’s time.
