Horsfield Wins Kelso Mountain Bike Series
Robin Horsfield made an excellent showing to win the Kelso Mountain Bike Series season opener in Canada, defeating over 50 other athletes in the Expert Category.
Horsfield noted that after a tough start to the season, including a broken chain in Brazil and sickness at the first Ontario Cup, it was good to get back on form.
He said, “I have great sponsors – Butterfield & Vallis, Arch Reinsurance, the North Shore Pharmacy, and Fat Tire Massive are all a huge boost to my program, as well as Canadian realtor Robert Porteous. That, and the BBA’s recent support of the PanAm Championships in Brazil was weighing heavily on my mind as the season didn’t start out as we all might hope.”
Horsfield was back in action on Friday June 2nd, finishing 9th at the Canada Cup short track event.
Coach Mark Brown said, “We continue to utilize the short track races, which are more road criterium-like in nature, as training for Robin. I was pleased to see him have the guts to attack the group mid-race. Seeing him attack a national level event suggests that his development is continuing on an upward trajectory.”
