    It was great fun today, a really good course. Pretty slippery in places but it must have dried up a lot for the senior race as there didn't seem to be too many crashes, at least not that i could see from the back of the pack.

    Under 16's - Travis Pell had a superb 6th place, Noah Field a close 11th, Gareth Lewis wasn't that much further behind.
    Under 14's - Adam Lightfoot had a really respectable 7th, Felix Field was in the bunch, sorry, cannot remember his place. Sophie Lewis was pipped into 3rd (girls) place in the last 200m.
    Under 12's - James, Archie, Freddy and Nathan all had really good placings and were all in the top 12
    Under 10's - Joseph H had a great result and came 2nd, closely followed by Mark L in 3rd (2 seconds apart!). Evan wasn't far behind either.

    Sorry if I've made any mistakes, my memory isn't the best!

    Really well done Jackie - a fantastic and well deserved 100 points.

    Proper CX conditions today. Very squirmy in places and an hour and half of cleaning kit when we got back. Another good turn out for CCA today. I have some pics which I will email out direct.

    The Under 12 race was a little more technical than usual :)

    Results below. i haven't separated out all the age groups within each race. Hope i haven't missed anyone.

    It was indeed rather technical and there were loads of crashes in our race. I found it very slimy and difficult to ride. Dave Hadsley ripped off his rear mech while warming up and so didn't get to start. Daniel came past me with a lap to go and was pulling away until i rounded a corner to find him emerging from a bush. Rear mech ripped off and had to run round to the pits to get a bike change.
    All good muddy fun!

    That's a great pic Mark. I'd laugh but I did something very similar at that point, involving foot in front wheel, rear wheel dropping out of drop-outs (is that why they're called that?) and riding next 6 laps with crazy wobbly front wheel and lots of brake rub. All good fun, as Tim says :0)
  • Simon.RSimon.R
    and there was me thinking my failure to unclip left foot and subsequent knee-slide though the stream had (probably quite litterally) broken new ground
  • JaneJane
    You are all MAD! And I mean that in the nicest possible way

    Long may it continue

    Great Pic Mark


    John. So putting ones foot in the front wheel not so hard to do. Your landing was obviously softer than mine in north Wales.

    My meteoric cx rise continues, from the 78th percentile up to the lofty heights of the 77th!
