Sunday was a stunning day and the first ride of 2014 in shorts! The skies were clear, the sun was warm on my back, it could have been August. The beautiful Spring weather drew a mammoth entry for the first round of the Southern XC Series, at Wasing near Reading.
The course was flat and fast, the trails criss-crossed by a tangled network of roots. Luckily it was dry and riders could just clatter over the woody speed bumps. The large entry meant lots of spectators too, families making a day of it, deck chairs and picnic rugs spread out in the sun. It really made for a great atmosphere.
Ian could have won at a canter in the Senior Vets but still put in some impressive lap times as he notched up a third win of the year. James and Will also made it into the top ten.
Full results:
| Ian Petherbridge | Senior Vets | 1st |
| Will Taylor | Juniors | 4th |
| James D'Arcy | Grand Vets | 8th |
| Oli Fenton | Sport | 23rd |
| Ben Connor | Masters | 32nd |
