Southern Area XC Champs

Southern Area XC Champs 2008, Chawton Park, Alton, Hampshire, 06/07/08 

                            

Team MK riders Richard Wood and Niall Frost travelled down to Alton to contest the Southern Area Cross Country Championships last Sunday.

After a morning of torrential rain the course had transformed itself into a slick, muddy ‘challenge’.

Rich, riding in the Masters category, made light of the conditions to record a convincing win over the rest of the field, earning himself the title of Southern Area Masters XC Champion 2008.

Naill rode strongly in the Sport category to finish in 2nd place less than a minute down on the winner.
