With staggering end of season form, Paul Byatt (Cyclone Cycles) won in the Expert category at the final round of the SAMS (Southern Area Mountain Bike Series). The course at Checkendon, nr Reading contained a number of tough anaerobic climbs, long sections of twisting single track and some flat open sections boardering fields. Paul got away from the rest of the pack with Warwick Spence (Bike Park) and together they opened a sizable gap on the rest of the field. Despite numerous attempts to break away by both riders it all came down to a sprint and Paul snatched it by a wheel. Paul now prepares for a full cyclocross season feeling robbed of races this year due to the foot and mouth epidemic.
