Knowler Nails It!This week young Charlie Knowler grabs the headline for his superb win in the Under 10 race at the very tough Eastern Cross League’s Mistley CycloCross event on Sunday. He made a great start and got to the front of the race on lap two, but was overhauled by Mark Lightfoot of CC Ashwell. Charlie then came back to retake the lead in the last corner to clinch his first ever CX victory. Harley Gregory again rode well to 9th place, (best Under 8), with Victoria Asker 14th and Grace Whitwell 22nd.

Various race times from 1 hour up to 4 hours for the different categories, with all races being started between 10.30 & 10.50, so very busy with all the way round the 13 kilometre lap. A great mixture of route & surfaces with no mud whatsoever. A large percentage of narrow single track interspersed with some little used grassy fire breaks, gravel forest drive & 3 “bomb hole “ pits thrown in for good measure.
