Nova Raiders Sporting 10 The curtain fell on the Friction Hydraulics Series for 2017 with Bryn Davies putting in a dominant ride to prove just why he is this year's Series Champion, as the outstanding medal positions were settled and the Women's course record fell - twice. Davies coped best with a tough crosswind in Round 16, Nova Raiders' Sporting 10 on the rolling Cherrington - Newport course. The Hafren CC rider stopped the watch on 23 minutes exactl

Round 2 Hafren CX Series – Foxley Cyclocross – 24th September

Members First
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 U1...

Matt Davies shook off the cobwebs and took a dominant win at Waters Upton in the first SCCA Autumn 10 in Round 14 of The SB Sports Injuries Series.

Round 4 Coaching Revolutions Hill Climb Series – Ludlow CC

Members First
Ludlow CC Wigmore Road Hill Climb Is anyone likely to stop Kirk Vickers in his defence of The Coaching Revolutions Hill Climb Series as the Rhino Velo rider made it another win at Ludlow. Vickers made it the maximum 80 points on offer so far and was in no mood to release his stranglehold on the competition at Ludlow CC's Wigmore Road climb in Round 4. The longest event on the calendar, the 1.95 mile climb saw him throw himself across the finish line in

Wrekinsport CC Willomoor Bank Hill Climb Kirk Vickers admitted to having unfinished business on the Willomoor Bank course in Round 2 of The Coaching Revolutions Hill Climb Series as riders battled gravity for the second time in 24 hours. Vickers had finished 3rd in the same Wrekinsport CC event in 2016, 11 seconds behind Dan Watts but looking mean and determined he made it two wins out of two to reverse those fortunes. The Rhino Velo rider blazed up
