Sunday 24th was the 3rd round of the Welsh Cyclocross League on the Foxley Estate near Hereford. 21 Hafren riders took to the start line. The course was very different to the technical challenge at Builth a fortnight ago. It was dry and fast suiting more the powerful riders. There were some great performances from the young Hafren riders and it is really encouraging to see so many turning up to race. Max Bufton narrowly missed out on a podium in the U12’s finishing 4th and Freddie Roberts also finished 4th in the U6’s.
Sam Holwill was on the podium for the third week running with 3rd spot in the U16’s race and Chris Roberts also had another great ride to finish 3rd in the senior mens. Kat Holwill was the best placed Hafren adult of the day winning her debut race in the Novice Ladies – chapeau!
There are 2 counting rounds left for the Hafren CC Cyclocross Trophies – 15th October in Aberystwyth and 22nd October in Newtown. (Best 3 scores from the 4 rounds will count) The standings after 2 rounds are below
