This weekend is the 3rd round in the National XC Series at a new
venue at Hopton Woods in Shropshire. Once again our sponsored riders on
the TEF Richardsons RT will be competing. Unfortunately its not a full
team fot his one with Riders Nick Wilson and Bob Hewitt unable to make
the journey down due to Nicks family wedding and Bob suffering from
illness.
Also the support team is unable to make it
with Mark working away in Manchester with British Cycling and team
mechanic Alex committed elsewhere.
The venue is not
known to any of the riders but with this recent good weather set to
remain the team are expecting a dry and fast course however the
technicality of the course features is the biggest unknown. The riders
will still be calling Mark on Sat night to discuss their individual
race plans and goals.
Mike Thompson is riding to win the Junior
race and this is welll within his grasp - he will know be on his brand
new 2012 Giant hardtail (thanks to Debbie for sorting this quickly after
the theft).
So Good luck to Scott, Sam and Mike for the weekend.
