liTTleST BiG Race ReTURNS To GReNoSiDe THOUSANDS of people descended on Grenoside Woods on Saturday May 20 as former downhill mountain bike champion Steve Peat once again hosted his seventh Peaty’s Steel City Down Hill. Peat, from Chapeltown, is a former World Champion and is passionate about promoting mountain biking in his home town of Sheffield. Peaty’s Steel City Down Hill is organised and run by a dedicated group of volunteers who do it for the love of it and to raise money to build and maintain the trails around Sheffield. The city is a hub for mountain biking, with trails in Wharncliffe and Grenoside Woods, as well as dedicated centres at Parkwood Springs and Lady Cannings, Ringinglow. Peat has won all six of the events so far but this year saw a departure from that with him finishing sixth. Top place went to New Zealand rider Eddie Masters, with his best run being 1:13.033. Runner-up was Philip Atwill and third was Craig Evans. Tracy Moseley won the women’s category in 1:20.367. Chloe Taylor was second and Martha Gill third. The event was free and spectators came from miles around to stand in the woods and watch riders of all ages and abilities. There was a party atmosphere at the event with music, street food stalls and a bar offering refreshments. Photo by Stuart Ritson
