More than 200 mountain bike riders from across the south got their adrenalin pumping at the annual Goodwood Spring Challenge on Sunday, May 18.

At the end of the event, awards were presented to the first, second and third places in each race category by the Rotary club's vice president Bernard Stoneham.

Douglas Price, of Chichester Priory Rotary Club said: "There can be no more powerful thrill than racing a mountain bike against fellow competitors – the chase and be chased effect – the riding at intensity that pushes your reserves, leaves you drained, telling yourself never again, then that afterglow that brings you back time and again.

"Great camaraderie between the riders and spectators was an added bonus in the sun soaked 'Glorious Goodwood' countryside.

"We'd like to say thank-you to the Goodwood Estate for allowing us to use the grounds and facilities and for the help and assistance provided leading up to the event and during the day.

"We'd also like to thank Geared Bikes and Wear of Donnington, Southdown Bikes of Angmering and Beaver Tool Hire, who organised and marked out the course."

All money raised from the event will go to charities from the area.
