Awards Season
The quiet period at the beginning of the year is traditionally awards season – we’ve three to cover for last year’s events.
In February we had the CXNE awards where Caroline Cunningham, and Gemma Fletcher Richardson picked up second in their respective categories and Tracy Henderson joining them in taking the women’s team prize.

MTB Madness
Wasting no time after fnishing the CX season, Harrison Lamb raced in the MTB Madness Regional Race Series and took second place in his category
Well done Harrison!
Nighttime CX Relay
Local clubs were invited to trial a new type of CX race format – team relay. Racers from all over the region turned up a pretty cold Friday night in February and were seeded into teams. What made it interesting was having teams made up of various clubs, with the focus on beating your clubmates instead!
The course was fairly technical and the race itself went off without a hitch. Well done to CXNE for making a go of it and trying something a bit different.
