This year's XC returned to the tried and tested formula of Saturday morning and was perhaps the best attended in the club's history.
30 members of all ages were brought out by the beautiful sunshine, much overdue and making the course on the eastern slopes of Oker Hill feel positively vernal.
In the primary age race over 1 lap it was Lizzie Webster who just held off Josh Nuttall to win. Well done to them all:
12.48 - Elizabeth
12.58 - Josh
13.38 - Daisy
13.41 - Bronwyn
14.01 - Lily
14.38 - Olivia
14.57 - James
15.49 - Becky
16.35 - Lucy
16.53 - Rhys
The 2 lap secondary race was won in fine style by Joe Hallas. Again, well done to all for working so well and appreciating each other's efforts.
18.55 - Joe
19.19 - John
20.40 - Sam
22.55 - Joe E
26.45 - Cerys
36.16 - Marianna
And finally, the 3 lap race was really a stroll in the park for the in-form Ben Cartwright. But note Mr Lessiter's rate of improvement lately.
23.19 - Ben
26.54 - Karl Webster
26.57 - Andy Lessiter
28.16 - Simon Croft

There will be a small presentation at the club dinner tomorrow for those who are there and one on Monday evening for the youngsters.
Now available for viewing in the results tab, sorry for the delay. Very pleasing to report we consolidated our position in the team events and won 4 out of of the of the 14 individual age groups, which means we have finished the season off as the most successful club in terms of category wins. Only 5 of the other clubs secured age group wins.
Everybody who completed the required number of races to qualiify for prizes feature as high finishers in their age groups so this has to be a successful, and very enjoyable, debut season. Once again well done to all who competed in,and supported, the competition.
