DARTMOOR Velo’s Bryony Medland made the podium at round two of the National Trophy Cyclo-Cross Series which was held in Pontypool.
Bryony claimed her best National cyclo-cross result by finishing second in a close under-14 girls’ race in Wales.
She was only beaten by Southborough’s Beatrice Murrell and held off Greta Wilkinson in a sprint finish on the twisty and technical course, which had its fair share of mud.
In the under-14 open/boys’ race, fellow Dartmoor rider Charlie Day narrowly missed out on the podium by finishing fourth, but he is third in the overall series standings.
In the race, Harry Totham improved 12 places on the last round by finishing 74th, while James Clement was just behind him in 77th place, also an improvement of 12 places.
In the under-16 open/boys’ race Sam Medland claimed a strong sixth place in his first year in that age group.
Round three of the series will take place at the Cyclopark in Gravesend on the weekend of November 28-29.
