Flying Colours Mountain Bike Series Results
The Flying Colours Mountain Bike Race Series took place this weekend, in a race the organisers describe as “epic.”
“Sunday’s Flying Colours Mountain Bike Race Series presented by Beck’s Beer & Furniture Walk was epic. Yesterday’s mixed weather gave Lodge Point Park [Lagoon] a big set of teeth. Lagoon still had the flow that everyone who raced in the event last year loved, but it also had an almost naughty side, which kept everyone on their toes,” a spokesperson said.
“Male A Division looked like it was going to be a royal battle, as Matthew Oliveira and Dominique Mayho went lap for lap with each other. Unfortunately, it ended with Dominique cutting his rear tire and that was the end of that. So, the race ended with Matthew Oliveira taking 1st place, Gary Raynor took 2nd place and Adam Kirk once again taking 3rd place. Alyssa Rowse was the only Female A rider in the race.
“In the Male Veteran class, Hans Hirschi had the race in control from starting last to leading the pack after lap 2, but, as noted earlier, Lagoon had the taste of tire and it bit. Hirschi picked up a flat on lap 3 and was unable to carry on. The race finished with Chris Roque came in 1st place, Padraic Brown came in 2nd and Neil de Ste Croix came in 3rd.
“With the Lagoon course bedded down by the two previews divisions, B Class participants were able to really show some speed. With it being such a big field, the first few laps were chaos. Riders overtaking here and there. It was great to be a part of, though. The final top three finished with Conor White taking 1st, Jenai Robinson in 2nd and Blake Camara in 3rd.
“Female B class finished with Tristan Narraway in 1st and Cassie McPhee in 2nd. Male Novice class finished with Garth Fleming in 1st, Andrew Packwood in 2nd and Wendell Burrows in 3rd. In the Female Novice class, Caitlin Conyers finished in 1st, Zina Jones in 2nd and Earlena Ingham rounded out the top 3.
“Nicholas Narraway took 1st place in the 13-15 division, completing one more lap than Tommy Marshall, who was 2nd and 3rd place went to Manning Smith. I think the recent Mountain bike skills camp really helped Nichloas Narraway with his win today!
“The 12 and under male division ended with Odin Hinzs in 1st, Gordon Smith in 2nd, and Jack Roberts in 3rd. Chelsea Lomas, Jasmin Hasselkuss and Zahriah Outerbridge were the top three in Female 12 and under division.
“The next race of the Flying Colours Mountain Bike Race Series presented by Beck’s Beer & Furniture Walk will head over to The National Museum of Bermuda on December 4th, 2016.”
