British XC Champs

This weekend saw the British XC Championships take place at Innerleithen. The course
was combination of an unforgiving and gruelling climb followed a long, menacingly technical descent. The Drumlanrig Rik's Bike Shed team were represented by Ewan Clark and Jack Taylor.

Ewan's race got of to a superb start, entering the forest in third place despite a very stong field in the Junior race. From then on, he rode well to complete the race in fourth place. Jack too had a good race, making his return after the injury he collected at the Scottish Champs last month. He finished in tenth place - hs best ever national result. The photograph above shows the start of Jack's race in the Youth category.
