Hi all
Results are now out for the 1st Northwest Sunday league event which was at Clarke Gardens 30th October, a race of one small lap and two large totalling 4.9 miles.
Ideal conditions on the day, a lot less muddy than previous years and with little wind, although there was a muddy section through the woods and stream with Jane seeming to find most of the mud on her own.
Adrian and Jayne Joy had fantastic runs considering it was their first foray into XC so well done to them.
A slightly different format this year with Helsby teaming up with Lymm and Warrington Road Runners to help make the league more competitive.
