Horwich Humdinger Cyclocross review

Red Rose Rider at the Horwich Humdinger cyclocross

The sun shone on Leverhulme Park for the 2016 Horwich Humdinger. We had a great turnout with Red Rose riders competing in Under 8, Under 12, Youth, Womens and Vets races. George won a spot prize for his "attitude, determination and effort" - well done George.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who made the day possible for the riders.

The results and lots of photos are available on the NWCCA results page

The Westmorland show ground was the location for the 2016 Wheelbase/Castelli cross race which provided a challenging course with plenty of mud. Wheelbase put on a great event with many people mentioning the quality of the various catering stands. Thanks to all the volunteers.

Rhys was celebrating his birthday with a Red Rose birthday cake. Happy Birthday Rhys!

Cyclocross Skills Sessions

Cyclocross Skills Sessions

This season we have been getting together on Tuesday evenings and on Saturday mornings, if there is no race on, to work on our CX skills.

We have had coaching input from Jack Humphreys and Matthew Field who have both helped to create fun, challenging sessions. Mike and Jez have also been on hand to help out.

We have concentrated on skills required in races to tackle obstacles that the course designers will incorporate, so this means off cambers, run ups, hurdles etc.
