Dom Switzer travels to Scotland.

Dom Switzer enjoyed a brilliant weekend of Mountain bike racing at the Glentress Youth Stage Race as a member of the East Mids U14 Team.

Over Saturday and Sunday the riders all completed 5 stages, a TT, a very Cross Country race, a hill climb, a technical Down Hill and a dirt crit.

Each stage was on a different course spread over the Glentress trail centre and presented a different challenge to test skills and stamina.

The event was contested by riders from all over the UK, as well as a strong local contingent so the racing was fierce and the overall positions changed after each stage.

Dom’s best performance was in the Cross Country in which he came third, helping to secure him 5th overall.

Further great performances by the other riders in the team saw the East Mids team secure second overall behind the Scotland team. A great event for young Mountain Bikers.

Nice one Dom!
