North West Cyclocross Association League 2007-08: Final Standings

The League has been updated with final positions following the final round in Scorton.

Apart from congratulating the worthy winners in all contests, I’m sure everyone would like to echo my personal thanks to Fiona Gilmore who has put in a great effort in maintaining these complex tables.  The NWCCA would not exist were it not for the efforts of Fiona and those like her – hearty and warm thanks for doing a brilliant job!

North of England Cyclocross Championships 2007, Boggart Hole, Manchester

A tough old day at work for everyone who turned up. Not exactly spectator-friendly weather, but some quality racing over a fairly uninspiring course. At least the mud didn’t stick!

Credit to all who helped out in the nasty conditions, and to Manchetsr City Council and Evans Cycles for supporting the event.
