The penultimate round of the Eastern Cyclo Cross league took place at Snetterton Equestrian Centre, Norfolk, on the 29^th December. The very cold but otherwise perfect weather conditions hid a slippery and testing course around the grounds including a technical section within the indoor eventing arena itself.

16 members of West Suffolk Wheelers & Triathlon Club travelled to Bungay on the 15^th December for the final cyclo cross race before Christmas. In a marked change from the previous week’s relatively flat and fast course, the Broome Heath course was a testing and energy sapping 1.6mile loop with a middle section containing no less than 4 steep ascents which required riders to dismount and run whilst carrying their bikes over their shoulders over and up steep slopes of deep sand or earth.

21 members of West Suffolk Wheelers & Triathlon Club competed in the latest round of the Eastern Cyclo Cross League held at Redgrave near Diss on 23^rd November. A timed age category race ridden over successive loops of a heavy going and challenging course suited the more powerful and stronger riders. The event began with the Under 10s, and yet another superb ride from Charlie Knowler who again finished 1^st. Fine finishing saw club mates Victoria Asker home in 10^th, Harley Gregory (16^th) and Grace Whitwell (21^st).

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 9^th place, (best Under 8), with Victoria Asker 14^th and Grace Whitwell 22^nd.

12 members of West Suffolk Wheelers & Triathlon Club took part in the East & South East Regional Cyclo Cross Championships, held at a cold and windy Trinity Park Ipswich on the 8^th December.

On a largely fast and flat course surrounding a more technical middle section which better suited the quicker riders, the stand out performance of the afternoon for the club was Paul Watson racing in the male vets 50-59 age category who finished impressively for 8^th
