Steel City Downhill Race


Jordan on course at Sheffield

After years of nagging and a number of tripss to the Alps, we finally gave in last weekend and entered Jordan into his first downhill race.  The event was hosted by 2009 World Champion Steve Peat just outside Sheffield.  For anyone who does not know, Downhill racing takes place over a relatively short, technical & as the name suggests downhill course.  Riders start individually and race against the clock, in this event riders had two runs with their best time being used for the results.


Drop into the finish line.




After two runs, Jordan managed to secure first place beating riders from around the UK with a time of 1:57.  The prizes were given by overall winner Steve Peat.
