Hot off the press, here is a report from today's Christmas Cracker Cyclo Cross race. The Stepping Stanes club laid on a brilliant course with a mixture of tight, rooty single track, sudden tricky climbs, a quarry drop and plenty of fast fire road for overtaking. The weather was cool and dry and the first race to set off was the under 10's with Drumlanrig represented by Jamie Willoughby. He got off to a blazing start gaining a few bikes length lead into the first corner. Jamie built on this lead through the race showing his strength to take a comfortable victory in the end.
The second start of the day was the under 12's and Drumlanrig rider, Rian Hill turned out a great performance in this race. Rian mixed it with the race leaders early on to eventually finish a strong fourth.
Finally, it was the turn of the under 16's with club rider Jack Taylor looking for the win on his festively festooned bike. Jack was at the front of the race for the first couple of laps with Scottish Talent Team riders Ross Green and Ryan Fenwick only to fall off the pace with two crashes on the single track to come home in third.
There's nothing on with the club from now until the new year, but then we will have a busy time coming ahead of us with coaching, races and our Family Evening / AGM. The next coaching session is at 10:00 on Saturday the 17th January at the Castle and the next race is due on the 7th February at Heathhall.
