Hempton cyclo Cross

The official result isnt up yet but when i left it looked like Adam L was 2nd in the u10s. Mark L and Harley P were something like 5th and 6th and the vets had a stormer, Stuart 16th, Mark 18th and me 22nd. either we were totally brilliant today or some of the regulars weren't there!
Anyway, will update when the result is out. Great course though, lots of bomb holes, little very steep rollers and all quite sandy not muddy, bike barely needs a clean.

Maybe you were using Svennes?

Results not yet up, but from what I know Jackie 3rd woman, Theo a very impressive 3rd overall in Seniors race, I got 3rd elite vet.

Great course at Hempton!

I couldnt stay to watch the seniors but would love to have seen theo and john in charge. Harley was looking really good today from what i did see.

Also, a pleasure to race with my fellow vets, can always see stuart and mark, can never quite reach them and am always aware that jackie is right behind. talented people!

It really is a brilliant course. Did anyone see rabbits?

A blinder from Pell senior (again), well done buddy.

Can anyone operate a video camera? I'm thinking a Sveness stylee film of Broomheath...

Well done everyone. Great days racing today. Thought it was going to be tricky when told they had reversed the course but it was a really good course. My new bike loved it.

Great support from the afternoon racers.

Thank you for those kind words Mr Duckett. I still have a lot to learn from you. That sneaky move up the inside on the road hairpin was brilliant and must have bagged you nearly 10 places.
