Weekend for Round 3 of the National Series

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.
