The Saddle Skedaddle Spring Series finally got underway after the snowed off false start earlier in the month. Hundreds of riders swelled the start line keen to kick start their 2012 racing campaign. The course was a belter; fast open singletrack with great descents such as Deerstalker, to nasty steep loose climbs that left all but the most determined walking. At each round one lucky rider (over 18's only) will walk away with a holiday thanks to title sponsor Saddle Skedaddle. Arran Wills racing in Open was the happy chap to receive this fantastic holiday.
You'll find all the results and photographs from the day via the links above. Later in the week the first series points will be allocated and published. Although we missed round 1 you will still need to score points in a minimum of three rounds to qualify for a series position or prize. We look forward to seeing you all again at Crowthorne Wood on the 11th March where the course should throw up a few surprises from the usual.
