NW Youth League Round 6 Report: Cyclocross

Submitted by Mike on
Cyclocross at Salt Ayre, Lancaster

Salt Ayre Cog Set hosted round 6 of the North West Youth League. It was a great day with good course and great catering!

The rain held off but the course was wet and slippery from the showers the day before which made the corners and off-cambers challenging.

All the Red Rose riders performed well but Katie did particularly well coming first in the under 8 girls category - well done Katie.

Hoghton Tower Cyclocross Race

Saturday saw the opening race of the 2017 NWCCA league at Hoghton Tower, and it did not disappoint with 400 riders across all the age categories taking part. The course was challenging made all the trickier by the occasional downpour.

We couldn't make use of the lawns in front of the house this year due to the conditions, but the alternative courses worked well and we appreciated everyone's efforts to keep off.
