A great turnout for Sunday’s Winter League race at Achaderry Estate, Roy Bridge. A testing XC course with plenty of lung busting climbs, bottomless bog and mud – all with the reward of some lovely handcrafted descent. Only 3 riders managed to complete 4 laps in the allotted time – AJ, Liam and James. Despite running out of battery on his last lap AJ came home first. There was a great battle behind him between Liam and James, with James finally managing to pull away on the last 2 laps. Once again, a special mention has to go to Aaron Tressider for being the 1^st junior and 6^th overall. 8 youngsters also took part in a junior race with Kai Tressider coming home with the fastest time. Well done to Archie and Innes MacDonald for completing the course despite having turned up expecting to compete in an Athletic Club winter league race! Many thanks to Leon for hosting the event and providing such great facilities and to Ruari for organising (and building!) the course. A huge thanks also to James for handing out so much free gear. The next race is at Wolftrax on the 3^rd of March.
