Redgrave Cyclo Cross
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 23rd 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 1st. Fine finishing saw club mates Victoria Asker home in 10th, Harley Gregory (16th) and Grace Whitwell (21st).
Next to go were the Under 12 group, led home by Thomas Macrow (13th), followed by Matthew Whitwell (24th) and Lianna Denny (26th).
The youth category saw a terrific ride from Sam Asker (9th), followed by brother Matt (22nd) and Fraser Elsworth (31st).
The combined women and 45/50 men age group contained the biggest club contingent. Another superb ride from Mike Bowen saw him home in 4th with Paul Watson riding powerfully for 19th. Strong riding saw a close group finish between Malcolm McFarlane (38), Simon Elsworth (39), Ian Mortlock (46th) and Adi Grimwood (51st). Dave Griggs made up several places to finish 63rd, whilst Lesley Linden in only her 2nd such race finished in a determined 70th.
Last to go were the seniors, and at an hour long a truly testing race over a surface that had deteriorated severely. Hard riding saw Richard Stiff home in 48th, John Brooks (52nd) and James Asker (54th).
