Well true British weather stuck again, all I can say is I dont think it can get any worse for the remaining rounds? A brave 34 riders turned up for a true cross race conditions. The rain was on then off then back on but midway through the main race it was unreal. The races were cut short by a lap or two due to the conditions on the night. Well done to A Martin, M Worton & A Brown for winning their races. A Brown & T Mein won the spot prizes.
