With priority going to those contesting the welsh series, a smaller group of Hafren riders travelled to Carmarthen Park. This was cx with a twist – flood lit night racing.
Max Bufton pulled on the red white colours again in the U8’s race. A strong ride saw Max hold on for 13th in a field of 36 riders.
As the light faded and the flood lights fired up Nick Huband and Paul Bufton got ready to race. As the whistle blew 80 riders set out on a lap and a half of the concrete velodrome before hitting the course.
The course had everything from off camber descents, steep climbs, tight turns and enthusiastic supporters.
Great night of racing and cracking atmosphere.
Bad luck struck as Nick suffered a puncture and had to pull out on what would have been a seasons best result.
Paul Bufton finished the demanding race in 40th place.
