British MTB Series Round 4 - Crow Hill!
The sun was out for the second BMBS in
a row making for a very hot day with lots of close racing around the technical course
at Crow Hill in the New Forest. Olympic star, Liam Killeen was in attendance as
was Robin Seymour and the ever improving Lee Williams but no sign of Oli B!
This venue had a mixed reaction last year for the National Championships so how did
it fair this time around?
Event organiser Martyn Salt and his team again did a great job with all the usual
facilities we have come to expect from a National Event and for the second time
in a row he even ordered the sun to come out and bake everyone alive!
What did you make of the British Series round at Crow Hill?

Hayles helps Halfords take overall victory!
The final race of the British
Tour Series saw Rob hayles take a win that catapulted his Halfords team to victory
in the overall competition. The 10 race series has been a huge success and it was
a perfect ending on the seafront at Southend for the Halfords team who took the
victory ahead of Candi TV and Rapha Condor.
Its a welcome series of races but just why is it that the British dont conjure up
the same atmosphere as our European friends?

lived up to its billing with Peat finishing 6th and downhill legend, Greg Minnaar
