Weekend roundup - time for some mud!

It had to happen sooner or later......proper mud at a CX race....!

Rich tackled Round 10 of the NDCXL series at Markeaton Park in Derby, finishing 3rd V40, 9th Vet overall. Conditions were bright and mild, but the amount of mud underfoot saw many riders either repeatedly stopping to dig mud and leaves out of drivetrains, or opting for multiple bike changes through the pits.

Rich: "Really pleased with the result. Been doing a lot of work on my mud skills, and it's paid off. Aside from a single fall I managed to stay on the bike for the entire race! Enjoyed the fact there was a decent amount of running required too, as that's something else I've been working on, but not needed until this point in the season"

Mud everywhere but the Haibike logo - that's dedication to the sponsors! (Photo courtesy Ian Nutt)
