Hope'ing to Wyn'!

THE opening round of the Mid-Wales X-Country Championship finally got under way on Sunday following a reschedule due to bad weather. The Saints Well course, near Rhayader was in perfect shape as the landowners had put in plenty of hard work over the last few months in preparation for the 2010 season.
Weather conditions were spot on, clear blue skies, no wind and grippy ground made for an excellent day of racing. The organiser Lee Edmondson stated that if the day was successful it was all down to his hard work and if it was a disaster then it was brother Paul's fault!
No need to worry on that score. The programme for the day was a 90-minute Youth race in the morning followed by a 2.5-hour adult race in the afternoon with all riders on transponders, which made the lap scoring a doddle.
