Report: Lincolnshire Cyclo-Cross League

Ace RT’s Rick Lister won the latest round of the Lincolnshire Cyclo-Cross League held at  Bardney near Lincoln. Diane Lee was the first woman.

Martin Cullen writes … The Lincs league season finally took place at Abbey farm on another windy day in deepest Lincolnshire. Straight from the off, Rick Lister and Mark Cotton powered away from the field leaving Jon Wells in a battle for third with Jordan Gell.

A win for Rick Lister in the Lincolnshire League

The battle up front raged on and Lister seemed to have the legs on friend and rival Cotton. A muddy section just before the finish, saw most of the field bar the top two either fall off or pull feet out in a vain attempt at stopping getting muddy.

Through this area, Lister never put a foot wrong but Cotton seemed to just struggle as it ended and his rear wheel often slipped. All these slips caused gaps between them but the effort Cotton put in must of taken its toll, as on the final lap Lister appeared solo for the win, Cotton for all his pain had to run the last few yards as he rolled his from tub in his efforts to catch the flying Lister.

Rick ploughs through the mud and on to victory.

Others were not as fortunate in the boggy mud and many came a croppy and left the race a lot muddier than when they started.
