Stage Win for Aidan Smith in O-Ringen
Aidan Smith finished third place overall in the M13 category at the Swedish 5 Days in the mountainous terrain of Salen. His week of strong results included a stage win on Day 3 and a second place on Day 4. The junior classes at the O Ringen are tightly contested and Aidan fought off some tough competition to come in third overall after a chasing start on the final day.
Other good SYO results included a 2nd place for Pete Gorvett on Day 4, his training on the fells no doubt paying off on a challenging downhill course after taking a chair lift up to start above the tree line.
