Same place, different conditions and a sublime course making the most of the venue’s ‘wet’ mood. Mick Style (course designer extraordinaire, yes still not a mention in the King’s New Year’s Honours List. Gutted) and team deserve all our thanks. As usual, we also owe thanks for our type two fun to the kind volunteers […]
Welcome! Welcome to Round 8 of the NWCCA League hosted by Element CT and friends with a return to the welcoming venue of Betley Court Farm, just South of Crewe for our last race of 2022 on Saturday 31st December. Thanks to Steve Sherwin and our North Cheshire Clarion friends, we are able to use […]
The reception was warm, the racing was hot, the weather was … well… two out of three aint bad. A chilly day in the picturesque estuary-side venue with so much to offer, and it’s nice to be back after a 3 year covid hiatus. Before we think about how cold it was for rider, take […]
Graham and the BCW team are looking forward to welcoming you to ‘Another Fine Mess’ at Glaxo Sports Club, Ulverston – LA12 9DR (direction signs will be in place from A590 in Ulverston) after a few years break due to the pandemic and the venue being used as a vaccination centre. Weather is set cold […]
A mudfest and a fun fest was had by all. Well done to all the riders, and especially well done to those who podium-ed. Results Media Adam Gee Photography’s photos here
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 […]
We return to Betley Court Farm, hopefully in slightly better weather conditions than in 2021. If you look at the photo above, the tape had to be at ground level due to the 40 mph winds that we enjoyed. It just meets the league requirements of a race venue in the Northwest given its Crewe […]
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 […]
Remember, remember!The fifth of November,The abundance of mud we’ve gotI know of no reasonWhy the CX SeasonShould ever be forgot! The venue for Liverpool Century’s round of the NWWCA calendar couldn’t have a more apt name of the ‘Pottery Fields’. Clay like mud will sap your legs and lungs! The course has moved nearer to […]
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 […]
After a false start for what was meant to be Round 1, we’re off again this Sunday. Perhaps a little bit more soggy under the tyres, but hopefully not as cold as the mid Jan event held at Beacon Park a few years ago. This is the 5th running of the HMCC event, where the […]
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, […]
