CC Ashwell Cyclo-Cross at Preston near Hitchin (Eastern League Round 7) Sat 17th October 2015

The grounds of the Princess Helena College in the Hertfordshire village of Preston proved a splendid venue for round seven of the Eastern Cyclo-Cross League.

For the competitors the biggest challenge was unobtrusively tucked behind the servant’s quarters of the former big country house. The run-up was obvious enough – only the very fittest could ride it. But once over the crest nearly everyone remounted with many grinding to an undignified halt on the grass climb that followed…… it became a lot steeper than it looked. By the end of each race more and more riders were running the whole stretch.

For spectators the grand manor house provided a spectacular backdrop to the approach to the pits, while for those who penetrated further there was a leg though the gardens overlooked by the Lutyens west front.

It was a great day for CC Ashwell, for as well as organizing a fine event they took maximum team points, displacing the usual top team Welwyn Wheelers. There was also a first League win for CCA member Noah Field who put in an assured ride in the 46 rider Youth race to win by 37 seconds from clubmate Adam Lightfoot, himself best Under 14 rider. Top Youth girl was another local rider Imogen Chastell (Welwyn Whs).

In the Women’s race Imogen’s sister Sophia Chastell (M & D Cycles) took the race outright, beating CCA’s Jackie Field (first vet woman) and Jo Newstead (XRT/Elmy Cycles). The latter had a long duel with Chelmer CC’s Sherilyn Powell only getting ahead at the point where the course plunged into the woods “There was just room – if you were brave…or foolish” said the Ipswich rider afterwards.

Matt Holmes (Arctic/Tacx) who took his sixth successive ECCL win in the senior event described the course as a technical one, and underlined this judgment by falling off on the last lap. He nevertheless had more than a minute in hand at the line over early leader and Junior winner Dougal Toms (Iceni Velo) with former moto-cross rider Grant Martin (XRT/Elmy Cycles) in third. Jonathan Dennis gradually overhauled his new Hackney GT clubmate James Madgwick to take fourth, with Junior Michael Parry sixth and, on a flying visit from Germany, Holmes’ teammate Darren Barclay seventh..

Shaun Aldous (Renvale RT) took the 40-49s though Robert Purcell (Neon Velo) put in a very fast last lap to finish just eight seconds down. With plenty of climbing on this course there was no shifting Richard Muchmore (Revel Outdoors) and Dave Copland (Ipswich BC) from their accustomed places at the top of the 50+ list, while in the Under 12s Caelen Miller and Jodie Taylor were the winners and in the Under 10s it was CC Ashwell members Sam Quiggin and Ella Friedlander.
