That really is a very high standard of performance - well done. Mark F
-
I echo the comments. Thanks to Mark W, Fiona and everyone who helped run the event, and congratulations to all prize-winners. I was rather publicly defeated by the current Mrs Fraser. After hanging on to her wheel for the whole race, the elastic sna…

A minute's video of Rudolph in the Under 12s.

John Swindells (Great Yarmouth CC) posted this short video of the youth race.

Good report Bryn, and well done everyone in cold conditions. Mark Wyer was there as assistant commissaire too. At 1 degree C it was T-shirt & shorts weather though, compared to the last two years' events. In fact we spotted a couple of riders in…

I finally got around to making a short video of the club's riders in the Youth and the U12 races. Cameron, Bryn, Ollie & James are centre stage, but keep your eyes peeled and you'll also spot Mark W, Stevie, Stuart, Fiona and Anna in the support…

N.B. The races today were the *combined* championships of Eastern and London/SE regions. So Theo was actually 2nd in the Eastern youth championship, and Jon and Bryn were both inside the top ten by my reckoning. And if Cameron lived the right side of…

James rode the Under 12s race at the championship, along with new members Felix and Noah. I expected to see a big pile up at the start, with up to 40 excited kids heading straight into a narrow 90 degree corner only ten metres from the start line, bu…

I originally found out about the lights from this thread: http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=61664 To save reading it all, though, a key recommendation (and I suspect this is rather important...) is to charge it somewhere where …

I bought this light a couple of months ago from a Hong Kong supplier via eBay. It's ridiculously bright at 1200 LM, ridiculously cheap at £15 (incl. postage to the UK), and comes with comedy Chinese-English instructions. So far it has been fantast…

Excellent report, Bryn. From a spectator's point of view it was a great circuit, but lots of riders were grumbling about the ruts/bumps/beaches(!)/etc. However, all the CC Ashwell riders (whether young or not-so-young) simply got on with it and raced…

Doh! When I say "Phil", of course I mean "Paul"... Sorry!

Hello Phil, Thanks - have whispered you a message. All the best, Mark

I've uploaded a short video of the women's race at Mistley here: http://www.youtube.com/user/EasternCyclocross Mark

A very good report from Bryn, who did very well indeed within the super-competitive youth category on a course with a lot of climbing & descending. I wasn't able to catch any footage of Bryn, I'm afraid, but here's a two minute video of Phil &am…

Thanks very much Mark W and Geoff - it was great fun all round and excellent skills training. At 8 years old James happened to be the only younger youth rider there, and Mark W asked me to add a few comments about the session from that point of view:…

8 yr old new member James Fraser will be there too, along with me and the current Mrs Fraser. Mark F City Cycle Centre

The peak gradient was 21%. Ouch. From Eastern Cyclocross League - Round 5 (Veterans and Women)

I've also uploaded a general video of the vets & women racing up The Hill. *Warning: some viewers may find scenes of suffering disturbing. Mark (City Cycle Centre)

I've just uploaded this album of the veterans & women race.

It was a great hill, the Muur van Basildon, for spectators at least... I probably have some video of CCA riders in the vets and women race, but here are a few snaps in the meantime. Mark (City Cycle Centre)

If you're considering entering one of the Eastern CX events for the first time, take a look at my video of Sunday's veterans/women's race to get the feel of it. Mark (City Cycle Centre)

Here are a few snaps from yesterday. Apologies for the appalling quality. Thanks to Tim, Lindsey, Pontus and everyone else who enabled us to ride CCA club events this year. Mark

Pontus, you sacrificed your chance to race last Wednesday evening, so if you'd rather ride in tomorrow's TT I can push off instead of you. Mark (City Cycle Centre)

Well done all. Here are a few photos from tonight's event: http://tinyurl.com/cca-ten-18-05-11 Mark

Here's a short video taken near the finish: http://youtu.be/-SgB1rvBokE?hd=1 Apologies for the poor quality (just a phone camera), but hopefully you can recognise people from their bikes & kit. Mark (City Cycle Centre)
