Stuart Benstead reports…

Hugo Robinson, XRT Elmy Cycles was the winner of the Archer RC event finishing 17 seconds ahead of Matthew Webber, London Phoenix, in the main event. Third, at 1m 19s, Liam Stones, Tm Corley Cycles/Blue, just three seconds ahead of Sylvain Garde, Addiscombe CC, these being the main contenders in the 140 field although Thompson was well clear for most of the one hour race.

Gavin Rumbles, Luton CC, was 7th and the first vet rider, with national champion Mick Bell, London Fire Brigade, 10th and first vet over-50.

This was the opening event in the Central Cyclo Cross League as it was last year when it was also in the London League in which it originated. There was also a big field then, but not as big as this one despite qualifying for two leagues. So decision to concentrate on the Central league was justified with the Region’s riders flocking in and joined by a number more often to be seen in the London series with their event that day in far off Dover.

The Central League in its short life has proved a tremendous success starting only four years ago with a few events put on by new organisers persuaded by an enthusiastic team of volunteers and BC regional staff. Now there is a shortage of dates for new organisers waiting in the wings and the possibility of two events per weekend being considered for next year.

Although there is restricted available terrain available for off road racing at Hillingdon, ingenuity produced a fast but testing circuit with plenty of short climbs that brought praise from many riders. In fact the suggestion was made that it would be a good venue for a National Trophy race as there are all the required back up facilities required by a major event.
