Storm season has arrived in style, with 2 XL storms over the weekend. South side beaches turned on with heavy barrels more like southern France, surfboards broken. The call was then for the duo assist/crest 675, even managed to fit in a para sesh on the Stash during the very short lived lull. What an epic weekend. @bpierrepont on the camera #stormfoiling #iowfoilcrew #isleofwight #shootthepier #activeisle

Race Report

Gorrick Autumn Series - Highlands Farm, Farnborough. Sunday, 18th October.

After a difficult year, Simon Ernest was keen to get back into racing and targeted the first round of the Gorrick Autumn Series, a competitive Regional MTB race that attracts strong competition.

Competing in the Grand Vet category, Simon had secured a second-row grid spot and knew that it was critical to get a good start to avoid the inevitable bottle necks as riders hit the singletrack.

From the gun, Simon found himself caught behind slower riders and due to the tight, technical trails with limited passing, he could only watch as the top five riders distanced themselves from the group he was in. Over the first lap he was able to pick off several riders and moved into 5th position and started to focus on riding smoothly and consistently to pull back time on the top four riders.

Into the last 1km, the rider in 4th place was in clear view but Simon ran out of time to catch him and eventually rolled across the line, an infuriatingly close, 4sec behind.

Simon reports “I was happy with my race, and have some clear areas to work on in training ahead of the next race in November, where a podium has got to be my objective”

Thanks go out to team sponsors Wightlink Isle of Wight Ferries, Island Renewables Ltd, Wight Mountain, Rapanui, KReative Studios and Adrian’s Bike Shop for their continued support.

RACE REPORT

Brothers Ayrton and Finley Manser-Grundy both put in fantastic performances at the Wessex League Cyclo-cross event last Sunday, enjoying a day full of racing, learning and determination.

Five-year-old Ayrton, competing in his very first cyclo-cross race, took on the Under 8 category despite having never previously raced alongside a large field of riders. Facing a challenging course with technical corners and climbs, he showed great confidence and composure, staying on his bike throughout the race and tackling every obstacle with determination. Ayrton crossed the line in a highly respectable 11th place and, most importantly, finished with a huge smile and a newfound love for racing.

Older brother Finley, who recently turned eight, lined up in a hugely competitive Under 10 field of more than 40 riders. After a slightly slow start, he fought his way through the pack and into the leading group, regularly swapping positions among the top three riders. Unfortunately, his race took a turn when another rider crashed into the back of his bike, bending his rear derailleur and sending him to the ground. Refusing to give up, Finley remounted and battled on with damaged gears, climbing back through the field to secure an impressive 4th place finish. While disappointed to miss out on a podium challenge, Finley showed tremendous resilience and sportsmanship, taking plenty of positives from the race and already looking forward to the next round of the series.

For both boys a great demonstration of determination and some fun great racing in a competitive series.

Thanks go out to team sponsors Wightlink Isle of Wight Ferries, Island Renewables Ltd, Wight Mountain, Rapanui, KReative Studios and Adrian’s Bike Shop for their continued support.

Golden light, salty air and nowhere else to be. 🌅🤎

There’s something about a seaside sunset that makes you want to slow down, breathe a little deeper and stay just a little longer. 🌊
