FullySussed promised the course at United Downs would be dry, fast, technical and exciting and it certainly didn't disappoint!...

So I confess to indulging my love of photographing extreme sports and consequently missing the Race 2 podium - sorry kids!  Dirt jumpers aside, the XC riders put on a show of skill, speed and a few tricks of their own…

Also great to see it wasn't only the boys turning on the style…

The sun shone and the course seemed to get a big thumbs up with rider comments including "I loved it"; "so much better than Sherwood" and "maybe I won't even need to clean my bike after the race"….

With all that approval a massive "thank you" has to go to Maddie, Jay, Jane and Rob for all their hard work organising, setting up and running the event.  Also, the top team of marshals deserve a special mention.  There was no dozing in a camping chair for them.  They were busy pointing out the choice of 'easier' or 'technical' lines and keeping the course clear for the riders.
