Langley Stays the Distance as Ferry Reach Tests the Limit
|
Jackson Langley delivered a masterclass in endurance this weekend to claim victory at the Fattire Massive Round De Reach, as the island’s mountain bike community faced its most grueling challenge of the season.
Under the canopy of Ferry Reach, riders were tasked with a relentless four-hour test of stamina and machine. In the individual standings, Langley proved to be the class of the field, maintaining a brutal pace to complete 15 laps of the technical circuit. The young standout’s consistency was the key to his success, as he fended off a persistent challenge from the veteran Kavin Smith. Smith, a perennial figure on the Bermudian podium, finished just one lap behind the leader with 14 laps to his name, while Che'quan Richardson secured third place after completing 13 laps.
The team competition was equally hard-fought, with the aptly named Wheelie WHEELIE Fast living up to their billing. The duo of Alexander Miller and Dylan Eiselt combined for a total of 15 laps to take the top spot on the podium. They were followed by Team J&J, featuring the trio of Jens Drea, Jonah MacGuinness, and Will Drea, who battled through to complete 13 laps. PanDom, consisting of Panzy Olander and Dominique Mayho, also finished on 13 laps, securing their place in the top three after a tie-break on time.
The endurance format provided a unique spectacle for the spectators at Ferry Reach, with the relay-style exchanges in the team categories adding a tactical layer to the traditional grit of mountain bike racing. As the Fattire Massive series moves toward its final stages, the results from Ferry Reach have set the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the 2025-26 season.

Narraway & Arnold lead BBA’s 2025 Roll of Honour
|
The Bermuda Bicycle Association (BBA) has unveiled its 2025 award winners, celebrating a year of historic regional dominance and domestic growth across the local cycling community. At the heart of the celebrations are Nicholas Narraway and Gabriella Arnold, who have been named Male and Female Riders of the Year following standout campaigns on the international stage.
Narraway’s transition into the Elite category was nothing short of spectacular. In October, he stormed to victory at the Caribbean Elite Time Trial Championships in Belize, clocking a time of 39:25 to secure gold ahead of teammate Conor White. Earlier in the summer, he claimed his maiden senior national time trial title, ending the two-year reign of Kaden Hopkins. His regional success was particularly significant as it secured a qualification spot for Bermuda at the 2026 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games.
Gabriella Arnold similarly cemented her status as a regional powerhouse. At the same championships in Belize, Arnold secured two medals: a silver in the road race and a bronze in the time trial. Her tactical performance in the road race, where she pushed world-class competition to the limit, also guaranteed Bermuda’s entry into the next CAC Games.
In the junior ranks, Charlotte Millington took home the Junior Rider of the Year award. Competing in her final season as a junior, Millington captured gold in the Junior Female Time Trial and silver in the road race at the Caribbean Junior Championships in Barbados. These results brought her career medal tally at the regional championships to seven. She was also selected to represent the island at the Junior Pan American Games in Paraguay.
The year also highlighted the sport’s generational appeal, with the MacGuinness family completing a unique double. Neil MacGuinness was named Most Improved Adult, while his son, Jonah MacGuinness, received the Junior equivalent, reflecting their measurable progress across the mountain bike and road seasons.
The BBA also recognised those who underpin the sport’s infrastructure. Adam Hopkins was named Club Person of the Year for his "behind-the-scenes" leadership as BBA Treasurer, ensuring national athletes and international campaigns receive vital funding. Charles Thresh received the Race Official of the Year award for his calm and professional presence on the course.
Volunteers and organisers were equally celebrated:
Volunteer of the Year: Chequan Richardson, recognised for his dual role as a coach and mechanic supporting teams abroad.
Race Organiser of the Year: Bermuda Rouleurs Cycling Club, cited for introducing engaging new race formats to the local calendar.
Spirit Awards: Nyon Steede (Adult) and Keon Stevens (Junior) were honoured for their positivity and teamwork, with Stevens particularly noted for his resilience following injury setbacks.
The 2025 season will be remembered as a milestone year for Bermuda cycling, with the island consistently punching above its weight in regional competition while fostering a dedicated and safe environment at home.

After four high-octane rounds of the Fattire Massive Mountain Biking season, the battle for the top spot across the divisions has reached a fever pitch. On the technical and demanding trails of Bermuda, the current standings reveal a mix of dominant frontrunners and narrow margins as the athletes head into the middle stages of the calendar.

With 76 points to his name, he currently holds an 11-point lead over his nearest rival, David Byrne, who sits on 65 points. The veteran Kavin Smith remains firmly in the hunt for a podium finish, trailing closely behind in third with 62 points.
The Open 60 Minute Female category is witnessing one of the tightest contests of the season.

Both Skye Ferguson and Ashley Robinson are locked together in second place, sitting just two points off the leader with 60 points apiece.
In the Open 30 Minute Male division, William Coatesworth has been the standout performer. His tally of 94 points gives him a comfortable cushion over Manning Smith, who remains consistent with 87 points. Sherman O. Darrell currently occupies third place with 65 points, leading the pursuit of the top two.

The Open 30 races were equally competitive, with the men’s division featuring a frantic sprint for the line. Manning Smith took the honors, completing four laps in 30:35, just ahead of William Coatesworth and Sherman O. Darrell. In the women's field, Kelise Wade proved she is as talented on two wheels as she is on the track, winning the division in 31:24. Zina Jones and Olivia Bishop completed the podium finishers.

White Secures Top-Ten Finish at Canadian Track Championships
|
Bermuda’s Conor White delivered a resilient performance on the boards this week, securing a hard-fought ninth-place finish overall in the Men’s Elite Omnium at the 2026 Canadian Track Championships.
Competing inside the high-tech Bromont National Cycling Center in Quebec, White made an immediate impact by powering to victory in his qualifying heat. The result served as a warning to a stacked field of North America’s top track specialists, marking White as a serious contender for the podium.
The Omnium—a grueling four-race discipline that tests speed, endurance, and tactical awareness—proved to be a rollercoaster for the Bermudian. White opened the main event with a solid seventh-place finish in the Scratch Race, staying out of trouble in a frantic bunch finish.
The middle portion of the competition presented a steeper challenge. White struggled to find his rhythm in the high-tempo environment of the Tempo Race, finishing 14th, before a difficult Elimination Race saw him exiting the track early in 20th position. The back-to-back results left him with a significant points deficit heading into the final event.
Showing the grit that has defined his road racing career, White produced a standout finale in the Points Race. Relentlessly hunting for laps and sprint bonuses, he claimed fourth place in the final segment, moving him back up the leaderboards to secure ninth in the overall standings.
The performance in Bromont serves as a vital warm-up for White’s 2026 campaign. The 26-year-old recently signed with the British elite squad JAKROO Handsling Racing and is slated to make history next month in Santiago as the first cyclist to represent Bermuda at the Pan American Track Championships.
With his focus now shifting toward Spain next week for a training camp.
