British Cycling XC Nationals RD.4 – Cannock Chase

My home race is one I always look forward to, family, friends come to watch, it always gives you that little bit extra and as we know, extra in XC racing can really help!

I practiced the course on Saturday and honestly, I was a little disappointed in the layout, for me Cannock is about the rock garden and with this feature missing, it was a little shock to the system. However, as always the course is the same for all, so we just get on with what is presented to us.

Return to Midlands XC

It has been a minute, but Midlands XC has returned! Midlands XC was the first series I ever done in MTB and it has something very special about it. Due to Covid Midlands XC has been missing for the past two years, I was super excited when they announced their return, only two rounds but that is way better than nothing, round one would also include the Midlands Championship round.

Race Catch-Up

Oh it’s been busy busy busy, so it’s time to get back to writing reports and keeping you guys up to date with things. I will do a quick summary from where I left it after the first National; going in depth will make the post long!

If you follow my socials, you will be up to date anyways.
