Saddle skedaddle11/3/2022 ![]() When it feels right, it’s excellent, and today it just felt right. It was so swoopy out there and the full-suss just hugged every bend and flowed so well, I overcooked it a bit on a few corners and overshot occasionally! It was fun. Horton said: “I didn’t expect to win this race by such a big margin, considering who else was in it, but I loved the course and flew round it. Travelling up from the wilds of Plymouth, Maddie Horton, who was beaming the whole way round, took a convincing win from Gemma Collins, who had been out celebrating her 30 th birthday the previous night.

I made my move on the last hill and consolidated that until the finish. I caught them on the last lap, as they were tiring. I sat with them for a while and my team mates were telling me the gap was coming down so I pushed to the head of the group and tried to bridge across to the leaders. I got caught up on the first corner and on the first climb as well and found myself in a small group in chase mode. Just like the last race, I got a bad start. The idea was to come today and try to consolidate my lead in the championship. Gallop said: “That makes two seconds and two firsts now in the series. Lee Gallop took his second win of the series, narrowly beating Ollie Taylor into second, after a hard fought race which saw Gallop charge from behind in the closing stages while singlespeeding Steve Webb cranked in for third just nine seconds adrift. R4 was no exception with just 10 seconds separating the top three riders. The men’s masters race has to rank as one of the hardest fought over the whole series, with a number of riders vying for that top spot. Natalia Wase took the win, ahead of Hannah Reynolds. #SADDLE SKEDADDLE FREE#Luckiest lady of the day had to be Natasha Litherland, who not only secured third spot in the open race but also went home with a free holiday.

She narrowly held on to take the win by just 17 seconds from a consistent Goward, while Briony Croft, fresh from her downhill and cross-country successes at the recent BUCS Championships came in third. Maxine Filby took on women’s masters’ racer Caroline Goward and with a fast first lap took the lead, which she seemed to be paying for as the three-lap race progressed. Nat Jarvis rode a blinding race to cruise into second spot just 35 seconds adrift Sport women Nat jarvis came second in the sport category: nat jarvis came second in the sport category Joolze Dymond This is a new Nat this is the Nat who wants to win and be at the top!” Hopefully I can repeat this ride at Sherwood Pines next week. “Midway through the third lap the pace started picking up but by then I’d got into my grove and then it got all technical and I kinda just went with the faster bloke ahead of me! It paid off and at the end of the day I came out the other end nearly on top. I thought I was mid-pack and then I saw Max (Sykes) and realised I was actually up in the top four. It was really tough on the first lap as I had a bad start. Jarvis said: “That has to be one of the hardest and best races I’ve ever ridden. ![]() The next best prize after the win was the free holiday, and that honour went to 10 th placed Craig Dolwin.
