London Phoenix had an action packed weekend of off-road racing at the start of December, with Stuart Lockyear and Joss Miller getting top 10 places at the De Laune Cross race at Herne Hill on the Saturday, and Neil Simpson coming home a fantastic eighth in the vets category at the South East and Eastern Regional Cross Championships held at Foxhall Stadium, Ipswich.

Meanwhile our MTB crews were battling the mud at the Thetford Winter races, with Alex Christians and Jason Wright just out of the top ten in their respective 2 hour and 4 hour events, and Doug getting a creditable top 30 in the vets 4 hour race.

These impressive results follow on from a succession of earlier podium places for Samantha Hart and Paul Troughton at the Gorrick MTB races in November, so 2010 looks like it will be another stunner!
