The final round of the XC points series was returned to Cannock Chase, always a popular venue as the record entries in the Open events showed. And being the final round means it's the series decider too. Several overall titles were already decided, others depended on the results from this round which made for some very exciting finishes. The course at Cannock may not be considered overly technical but the number of sharp, punchy climbs meant riders were working at their limits when they did reach the tech. A great season finale.
With the National XC series coming to a close, hot on it's heels is the National XCC and XCO Championships on 21st-23rd July in Tong.
