Our newest recruits to racing Rosemary, Arno and Betsy all got stuck in, Arno had an impressive wipe out while attempting to overtake on the approach to a narrow section but hopped straight up and was quickly on his way again.
The course was much drier this time, although there were still a few stinky black puddles to ride through (apparently they keep these topped up just to delight the riders ;-)).
Oliver rode in the U8's and the U10's, proving his total addiction to cycling!
Some very successful racing was followed by the podiums. Next race day at Bedgebury is Saturday 20th August http://www.boarsonbikes.co.uk/round-4-bfcc-summer-xc-series-sat-20th-aug/
