CCXL R3 – CX in the City II

Susan and Lorraine - both now hooked on Cyclocross

Congratulations must go to Velobants.cc for pulling off Saturday’s Central League fixture at the mythical ‘cross venue that is Campbell Park.

Not only were there even more participants (750+) there on the day than at a National Trophy event – thanks in small part to the contribution of Lorraine Atkins, Alison Hinds and Susan Moir riding their first ever CX race – all present will remember the eye-watering site of 165 ladies setting off en-mass in the Women’s race, smashing CX records for largest race. The only thing missing in the party atmosphere was a beer tent and we hope that the ‘Bants team will be able to negotiate with MK Parks Trust to have one for next year.

This week, Daniel Elliott, Leon Atkins, Katie Allsop and Millie Coleman all ended up on the podium, with Leon winning the U12 race by 30 seconds.
