Novemboiling After freezing our bums off last year, the warmest November ‘cross you can imagine greeted riders in the deep south of our region. Thanks for the welcome by NCC Juniors – which was as warm as the weather – and all the marshals and other helpers who made the day run smoothly. Results Media […]
A new flavour of course put on this year by Mike and team at Liverpool Century. Despite quite a deluge in the last few days it generally held up, and it was nice to have the main course and pits that few trundles nearer to the car park! Well done to all involved and as […]
What was meant to be Round 1 was Round 4, as it turned out. And dare we say the rain made it a little more tasty? Cheeky. With the mercury saying 16 degrees plus, it felt like it really was trying to be an early round of the NWCCA league, but the brown bikes and […]
A taste of mud. It came a little earlier last year in Round 1, but the first race approaching a modder was witnessed today. Not yet, the ruts, or the wall to wall brown, but definitely a touch of dirt that gives our sport its most famous tinge of colour. As the years go by, […]
Christmas seems early this year. An October Supacross? Yes, please. Well it may not be late December, but we were all given a cracker of a course. See what I did there? Well done to all those people who made this race possible. The Commissaires and assistant (and trainee Commissaires!), the timing team, sign on […]
It’s been a few years now since our last foray into Leverhulme Park, but this venue – a NWCCA Classic – showed itself once again to be the centre of some great racing and a cracking day out. The forecast rain barely touched the bone dry grass and the circuit was super-fast. The first race […]
A day for tape-on-the-floor high-wind super-dry camber-rich action. With what was we reckon 29 corners per lap, that was an engaging and testing course. Well done Rob Allen, course designer, and hearty congrats to Pete and team at Salford CC, plus all the commissaires, timing team, marshals and sign on team. A happy, dry and […]
#HogwartsCross was everything it promised to be. And we were all Slithern’ around in either sunshine or fog, depending on our start times. What a day. What a smashing new venue and a cleverly crafted course by Tim Lawson and helped by friends from the Red Rose team. We hope everyone had a good day […]
Q. What’s brown and sticky? A. A stick. … and everyone who rode the filthiest Humdinger today. Apologies to any washing machines reading this. After several nightmares with land owners / managers over using venues for this year’s Humdinger, the Horwich CC eventually had to go far afield and tap into the tremeandous help of Hope […]
Always nice to visit a new venue, and always nice to feel like we’re stretching the boundaries of the region by getting to the extremes! Brilliant to be at the far south of our large geographical area, and a wonderful new venue. Big thanks to Steve Sherwen, Gary Scott and team at the North Cheshire […]
