Solo win for Lee Shunburne at round 13 of the Notts & Derby Cyclo-cross League at Draycott House Farm
Ray Stuart writes … Round 13 of NDCXL, organised by Long Eaton CC, took place at a new venue for the League – Draycott House Farm, near Derby. More used to equestrian events, the going proved hard with many riders commenting that it was “uphill all the way”. Despite 2 days of rain, the pit crews had an easy time as the mud did not “pick up” easily. The riders, however, had to battle against strong head and sidewinds.
The abscence of non-league riders meant that this was a race deciding final league positions and after 1 lap a strong group of 6 leading league contenders was established. A few more laps and 3 riders broke free and dominated the first 3 positions. Winner Lee Shunburne, Matlock CC, 2nd Andrew Naylor, Ashfield RC, 3rd Andrew Stuart, TFN TRiClub.
Final League positions are still “down to the wire” for the final event at Darley Moor on Sat 4th Feb, organised by today’s 2nd place rider Andrew Naylor of Ashfield RC.
