My first Cyclo-cross season by Bryn Davies

I joined Towy Riders in February  2013.  I think it’s a brilliant club and I really enjoy the training sessions. I have made lots of good friends.  I broke my elbow on the track in the summer because teenagers threw a ball at the riders and I crashed. I didn’t really get into racing until the cyclo-cross season.


My favourite race was Gilwern in Abergavenny where I came 3rd. It was very bumpy which suited me well.  My least favourite race was Carmarthen where I came 7th because my chain fell off twice and so did I. I didn’t do so well in some races because after my crash in the summer my derailer got bent so my chain kept falling off. It’s fixed now.

The muddiest course was in Brecon as seen in the photo, which was where the Welsh Schools Championships was held the day before in which I came 8th. Overall I came 4th boy in the cyclo-cross league and was awarded the best new comer 2013. I have really enjoyed the cyclo-cross season.
