We had a great turnout for a great race at Heaton Park. The youth riders rode in the rain which gradually cleared and by the time of the vets/womens race it could be described as a nice day - Pete, who was unfit to race, was marshalling and shouted encouragement to the Red Rose riders while eating his sandwiches.

There are no races in NWCCA league this weekend so what about a trip up to Penrith to get your cyclocross fix? It's at the Greystoke Estate which is about 10 minutes from junction 40 of the M6.
The race is promoted by the Beacon Wheelers as part of the CXNE league.
The day has a slightly different format to what we are used to with the NWCCA so check out the race times to make sure you are there in time!

Jack presented another great session starting with techniques for riding off-camber and then showed us the glide dismount that was a new way of dismounting for most of us.
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!

Fairly easy skills session today since we have a race tomorrow. We will focus on the skills required for the race - the Bebbington course has some boards and twisty turns through trees.
For this week either a mountain bike or cyclocross bike will be fine.
