It’s probably not a massive surprise to anyone that Tracey Mosely got the elite women’s win. She said of the event: “It was great to have a UK champs for enduro as the discipline has so many great events at different locations across the UK it was nice to get everyone together to battle it out on the same day in the same place ! A stunning location, great social vibe and some testing stages, all made for a good day of racing, and more importantly having fun riding bikes ! Thanks PMBA for getting this off the ground and I hope we now have a UK champs every year to crown a National Champion”.

Someone got a bit too rad.

Sometimes, when the trail gets too rad, you just need a little lie down.

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
