Stuart Reid (Wheelbase, pictured left) dealt with disappointment from the previous weekend in Mallory Park in the best style possible, by taking a satisfying win at the Mersey Roads CC ‘cross at Otterspool Park. Recycling.co.uk’s Ben Greenwood picked up one place on his previous effot on the Otterspool course, but was no match for Reid’s […]

Dave Brailsford claimed his first win of the season and Horwich CC’s first senior cyclocross win for some time in Saturday’s East Liverpool Wheelers promotion at Ottterspool Park. Adrian Dalgleish and Stuart Green finished second and third behind Brailsford, who seems to be regaining his form after an early season illness. In the Youth race, […]

Top honours in the eight lap senior race went to Ian Bibby (Science in Sport, pictured left), who, after an eventful race managed to relegate long-time race leader Rob Jebb (Wheelbase) into second place by seven seconds. Jebb had led […]
A great day’s racing for 93 riders on a short but fast course that had everything!
