Mountain Mayhem Success for Keswick Bikes Riders


KMB Keswick Mountain Bikes team sucess at the world renowned 24hr Mountain Mayhem mountain bike event last weekend in Herefordshire. The cross country style race started at 2pm on Saturday and involved completing as many laps of the 14km cousre as possible. The Keswick Mens and Womens teams competed in a relay, doubling up for some of the night laps to allow other members to rest. Heavy rain overnight made the course slow and sticky, but luckily by the late morning the couse had dried. In a very hotly contested competition, the KMB womens team won their Catagory by a mere 46 seconds and the Mens team were on the podium with a magnificent 2nd. The team members were: Emily Brooks, Cheryl Frost, Alice Crook and Caroline Flanagan for the women and Andy Wrigley, Chris Hope, Ben Bardsley and Phil Davies for the men.
