Harley Gregory in convincing form

The penultimate round of the Eastern Cyclo Cross league took place at Snetterton Equestrian Centre, Norfolk, on the 29th 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.

Charlie Knowler continued his good form to finish 2nd in the Under 10 category but strong riding from Harley Gregory saw him finish a convincing 1st in his year group (U8) and 9th overall. Club mate Victoria Asker will also be very pleased with her 15th overall position.

Brothers Sam and Matt Asker contested the youth race, Sam finishing in 10th and Matt in 27th.

Riding for Revel Outdoors in the veterans race, Richard Muchmore finished 2nd with Mike Bowen the highest placed West Suffolk Wheeler & Triathlon club member an excellent 6th. Paul Watson raced well for 14th, Adrian Grimwood impressed for 41st followed by Simon Elsworth (48th), Ian Mortlock (53rd), Barry Denny (55th) and David Griggs (64th).

In the Under 12 race, Thomas Macro placed 13th with Matthew Whitwell 23rd and Lianna Denny 25th.

Completing fine family performances, James Asker finished 61st in the Senior race with Matt Denny 64th. In the same race, Steve James (Revel Outdoors) finished well for 8th. Richard Stiff withdrew with technical issues.

The final round takes place at King Edward VI School on the 18th January, with the club a solid 9th in the league placings.
