CSP CX Race 15th December

Last night we had the final meeting with the Becky from Waddow Hall, it has been a pleasure woking with her as she is very supportive and really keen to see cross coming to Waddow.The courses we are putting together should give everybody something to smile about, lots of space to overtake, tarmac sections, grass, flowing downhills, all set in some of the best countryside in the world : )  The ladies only race is getting plenty of interest, so if you are thinking of entering make sure you enter,…See More
