/ Welsh Cyclo-Cross League Final
( hosted by Maindy Flyers )
This is the time to get out the
glitter, the tinsel and your Santa hat; it’s Welsh Cyclo-Cross
League Final promoted by Wales premier youth cycling club Maindy
Flyers.
The races take place at Blackweir Park, just across the road
from the Headquarters at Maindy Pool. The first race starts at
10.45
Following the success of last season; when entries to cyclo
cross races in Wales increased by 30% - the format remains the
same so there are categories for Under 8, Under 10, Under 12,
Under 14, and Under 16.
If you’ve raced at Blackwier before then you’ll remember how
much you enjoyed it, if you’ve not previously raced here then
don’t miss it because it’s a great event and one where everyone
that takes part gets something.
Why not try to persuade the adults to have a go. Some of the
less determined athletes might like to take advantage of the
mulled wine that is offered on every lap. The course builder
will make the laps longer this year as there was a rumour going
round that a senior/vet that rode last time lapped so quickly
and drank so often that they fell asleep on a bench in the park.
The competition was close throughout last season and even with
the finish in sight there is always a chance that things can
change, it went right to the wire again with the winner of the
league not being decided until this final race.
There’s the league presentation straight afterwards at Maindy
Pool where hot showers, a bike wash facility and first class
refreshments are available. So for an event that produces a
tremendous atmosphere come and enjoy an extra bit of seasonal
fun with Maindy Flyers. |
