Team Enable riders clinch multiple wins

ONCE again Team Enable (M.I.Racing) McCann riders dominated the Friday Evening Midland Mountain Bike series held at Borough Hill in Daventry.

Jefferson Tear (15) cruised to victory in the Youth Under 16 event, extending his lead in the overall series.

Nick Popham dominated the Over 50 event, Ryan Henry won the Over 40 race, Lindsey Newman also extended her overall lead when winning the Ladies 50+ race and Kirby Bennett finished a close second in the Over 60 event, after a big problem on the first lap, when branches got entangled in his gears and resulted in a long chase through the field to get up to second place.

The team entered two teams in the Cycling Time Trial National 3 up Team Championship which took place on the Southam to Banbury Road in South Warwickshire.

Because of the low numbers of entries, the Team entered two teams to give the event more local support (Rugby Velo were the only other local team to enter) and they used it as a training exercise. Rob O’Connor, Andy Jackson and Zoe Shepherd finished with a time of 1 hr 4 mins 43 secs , and the faster team of Mark Wise, Andy Oliver and Greg Ashley in 53 mins 46 secs,

It was Team ENABLE all the way at the Friday Night Midland Mountain Bike series at Wibtoft near Hinckley.

Nick Popham won the 50+ race , Kirby Bennett from Hinckley won the 60+ race , Lindsay Newman was first in the Lady Veteran race and 15-year-old Jefferson Tear won the Under 16 youths race on a course that was very wet and soggy , following recent rain.

While Oliver Searle won the mid week Hinckley Evening 10 ml TT , with a time of 23-03 on his standard Road Bike.
