Southern XC Rd3 - Crow Hill

Alex

Crow Hill near Ringwood was the venue for round 3 of the Southern Area XC MTB Series (SAMS). A full days racing for all categories was on offer, with the elite men last off at 2pm.That lack of rain this spring had left the course rock hard, producing some fast racing that kicked up plenty of dust. Ironically the rain started to fall as the day wore on but it was not enough to dampen the trails.
2 club riders attended with Alex Taylor coming a great 7th in the Male Open and Ian Petherbridge in the Grand Vets who unfortunately had a mechanical on the first lap spoiling his hopes of a series podium place. Alex is going from strenght to strenght and is also hoping for a good showing in the series points and possibly a top 5 finish in the next round, keep up the good work Alex.
