Round 5 of the Freerange Sport Optics BMBS was held in uncharted territory in wild and rugged Welsh Wales. Held at the renowned Coed - Y- Brenin one of the UK’s best loved trail centres, offering a wild and wicked weekend for the final round of the series, plus the final presence at organisers InEvent who are bowing out after 4 long and hard years, of building up an excellent series.

The laps were long and rocky and it being Wales, wet. But what it lacked in sunshine it made up for it with enthusiasm and some cracking racing.

many succumbed to the rocks, suffering more than your average number of punctures at a xc race.

The battles were long and hard with not just the race victory at stake here but also for many the overall series win too.
