WURL Racing Roundup

Bath Uni CC hosted an afternoon of racing at Odd Down Circuit. After 15 laps of racing, Kate Mactear secured 4th place in the women's event, and in the men's novice race, Chris Parker and Freddy Carlton finished 8th and 10th respectively.

Lots of cheering was had by all. The more experienced guys battled it out head to head with Ryan topping the table and Andrew coming in a close 2nd.

Andrew and Ryan go head to head (video).

Full results available here.
