2012 Halo BDS Round 4 Caersws With SPS
The Steve Peat Syndicate competes at the 4th round of the Halo British Downhill series at Caersws, Wales.
With riders returning from injury the team is nearly competing in full force with only the weather to upset proceedings.
The riders experienced a mix bag of results with the Junior category being heavily upset by the rain, riders were finding themselves on dry tyres in heavy rain and as more and more seeded riders came down the hill the track became slicker and slicker!
Coming down before the rain Glen Peppett remained super consistent and finish in 5th place.
Its three weeks until Bringewood where the popular Pearce series venue will hold a BDS round for the first time.
This Is Peaty Episode 1
Fuelled by Monster Energy, Episode One takes you on an international whirlwind adventure. Starting at the legendary Ingle Gym, Sheffield, along with close friend and Heavyweight boxer David Howe, Steve hasn’t been slacking in the off-season, that’s for sure.
Getting in quality Downhill runs in the UK is tough for someone like Steve, who’s nearest uplift is almost 2 hours away… So any excuse to head for San Romolo has to be a good one. Staying over at Argentina Bike with SPS rider James Swinden in tow, one Piaggio purchase later and a few amazing days in the sun, the season was off to a solid start…
It might have been an early start to the season this year, but everyone came out swinging at Round 1 Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Huge Jumps, Dropper Posts, Weetabix and an ‘almost’ fairytale finish for the Santa Cruz Syndicate.
Obviously psyched for his team-mate Greg Minnaar, but a tough start to the year for Steve, back in 15th place. But don’t worry he’s not out of reach just yet though, with a long season still to follow.
Val Di Sole is basically Wharncliffe but a bit longer anyway, right?
Until next time…
