Sherwood, 12 May 2007 Ruby Miller lives for her racing and is well established as a leading competitor in triathlon as well as cross country running. Now she’s starting to make a name for herself in mountain bike racing as well. Ruby showed great promise when winning her age group of the Welsh Cyclo-cross League last season and her cycling continues to go from strength to strength. Sherwood Pines was the venue for the hotly contested 2nd round of the 2007 series of the British Mountain Bike Cross-Country Series. Although essentially a flat course, designer Ian Potter, aided by his wife, international rider Kate Potter, had crafted a highly technical route that threaded its way through the landscape, taking full advantage of Sherwood's miles of natural singletrack. Riders faced 11.1 km of fast flowing, twisty, rooty, singletrack with logs to jump and soul-sapping sticky sections, where you had to keep your wits about you whilst travelling at speed to avoid the dreaded tree to body interface. It was In the Youth Ladies Race that Ruby Miller in only her first national MTB race took first place. In a post race interview; Ruby said, “It was fun today, this was my first BMBS and I really enjoyed it. It was so competitive with all the other girls as well. The course was pretty technical and flattish, I don't really like that, I much prefer hills. I'm really looking forward to the next round at Margam that will be more suited to me.” We all wish Ruby the best of luck for round three on Saturday 2nd June.
