BEEF ISLAND, VI – Philippe Leroy put the disappointment of last weekend’s Jason Bally Memorial Road Race quickly behind him as the man dubbed “French Toast” cruised to victory in the latest stop of the Jeep Mountain Bike Series on Beef Island.

Leroy, despite nursing a broken wrist, easily vanquished the opposition in last Sunday’s Reverse Beef Island Race (October 12, 2014). It was his seventh win in the 10-race JEEP 2014 BVI Mountain Bike Series, and he is sitting on a pile of points almost double that of his nearest competitor.

Husband and wife team of Dave and Carolina Pettigrew were second and third respectively in the flat course which saw riders tackling the roads, trails and beaches of Beef Island.

The Peter Island Race on Sunday, November 2nd (moved from October 26), is the last race in the JEEP 2014 BVI Mountain Bike Series. While Leroy will be crowned the undisputed 2014 champion, the last two podium spots are still up for grabs. Rusty Burns and Jim Cullimore are tied for second with 161 points each, and Adrian Dale, with 141 points still has a shot at sneaking in with a strong performance and some good luck.
