Mountain Bike Championships success for Powys cycling stars

Hafren CC thanked sponsors Cambrian Tyres, Goodyear Bicycle Tyres, Brooks Cycles, Trailhead Bicycle Company, Gilbert Davies Solicitors and Co-op Supermarket.

The ladies, juvenile and youth class races were held in fine conditions as riders tackled a challenging course before the heavens opened for the male class races and produced some thrills and spills as competitors struggled in the slippery conditions.

A host of Powys riders ended up on the podium.
