Ruth Wins at Drumlanrig

Altura Patterson Training rider Ruth Mordaunt took the top step in Master Women's race for the second round of the British National XC Series in Scotland on Saturday.

Ruth held up well against a tough field and an even tougher course, finishing more than two minutes up on second placed Nina Davies. Her full-sus VP-4 Lady flew over the roots and rock gardens, and Ruth rode with the No. 1 spot in her sights for the full three laps.

The win puts Ruth in the lead for the series.

Ruth then went on to finish third in the 75km marathon the following day, behind Elite racers Maddie Horton and Melanie Alexander, maintaining her position as leader in the 75km series.

Ruth's racing goes from strength to strength, and she is flourishing under the guidance of Team Coach Andrew Patterson. Ruth will have her own race report up here on Trackside in a couple of days, so please say posted.
