Well we took France by storm. At the first round of the Coupe de

Haby Blu Cann in the women's and 2 of the three podium places in
the men's competition.

MULLANE RETAINS ONABIKE CUP
The ONABIKE
CUP, Britain oldest established Downhill Mountain Bike Race was won
for the fourth time in a row by Ashley Mullane but by the closest
margin in it's history just under 9 100th of a second!!.
Please CLICK HERE
for race results. These are based on the first runs only, as racing was abandoned
after a serious rider injury; which required the air ambulance.
Meaning we ran out of daylight. (update: The rider Tom Perry was
released from hospital in time for Christmas with broken ribs and
severe bruising.)
NB. second run times for those who completed them
are shown but have not been taken into consideration. A great shame
for some people ... but there is always next time!

The ONABIKE Cup was sponsored by Cloud Cover, Nike 6.0,
