the final round of the summer series took place on a sunny windy day on the Amlwch course, again superbly run by Rich and Nige well done guys. Another small field saw an excellent race, which was spoiled by mechanical problems for various front runners. But riding a superb race Harvey Wharton of the Llyn CC scored his first cyclo cross win. the initial lead was taken by welcome visitor Dean Smith who with the last round winner Steve Bradbrook led for the first three laps with eventual winner Harvey Wharton in close company. Dean was the first to suffer mechanical problems with front gear problems, leaving Steve in the lead. Leading vet was Ian Evans after Mark Baker punctured. Harvey then lead all the way to the flag, making it 2 winners from the Llyn CC this summer

A very good turnout of over 40 riders took part in this the first event of four in the series, attracting riders from all over North Wales. Holohan, Mullen and Holt took advantage of an early break from the main bunch and held that advantage until the finish line.

Round 7

At long last, our photos of the Revolution-Bikes/TLI cross (round 7) at Amlwch are now online. There still seems to be a problem (i.e. slow-running, glitching etc.) with the Slideshow feature; however, there is another method of viewing images at a large size - details are on top of the album. Here's the link: http://will49.zenfolio.com/p684255911

Round 6

Sorry for the delay, but our photos from last Sunday's cross event at Prestatyn are now on line (link below). Zenfolio recently upgraded the Slideshow feature to a full screen display. Sadly, however, it seems that there are some teething problems with it, but an alternative form of viewing images (at still a fairly large size) is possible... please follow the directions on top of the album.
