Cait Elliott reports from Plymouth:
"I was over in England at the weekend along with a group of Irish mountain bikers at the final round of the British NPS series in Newnham Park, Plymouth. A C1 classification meant the race attracted a big field of top class riders from all over the world. The course was hilly with some nice woodland singletrack, but nothing particularly technical. Recent good weather made for very dry, fast racing.
In the Elite female race there were riders from 7 different countries including former Olympic and multiple world and European champion, Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja of Norway and several girls just back from the World Championships in Australia. It was a great race, tough with the fast conditions and top competition but I really enjoyed it. I felt pretty good, battling hard all the way through to beat Jenn O’Connor and Lilly Mathews. The single track was good fun although a bit more technical stuff would have been nice! I was happy to finish in 8th place ahead of some experienced riders and not too far off the winners."
