The sun was shining in Potash Woods for the latest round of the excellent Travers MTB Series. The barmy weather was lovely for the spectators but less so for the participants who all felt the effects of the heat, even in the relative shade of the woods!
A great result for Ewan (U12 Boys) after starting 16th on the grid and working his way up to eighth overall. A third and fourth respectively for Isaac and George (Juvenile Boys) who both did extremely well to overcome setbacks and finish the race, a tough experience for both that will make them stronger, and we also saw the father and son combos of Peter and Dan Hall as well as former Rovers Andy and Cam Hurst! It was also good to see other Colchester riders there flying the flag for the town.
