The Central and Eastern CX leagues have started another season with a huge turnout of members already taking part in the early rounds on grass courses (too early for mud!). Lots of young riders have moved up an age group and it has been great to see a few new names giving racing a try for the first time.
Archie Peet celebrated his 17th Birthday by winning the CCXL Junior race on Saturday. As it is run together with the Vet 40s, his Dad thought it would be nice to enter the same race. Nearing the end of the race, and about to be lapped (again), an exhausted Jeremy slowed so that Archie could pass and take the chequered flag (meaning that he could then stop). However, Archie kindly shoved the veteran in front as they crossed the line in order to force Dad to do another lap.
Daniel Elliott also claimed his first CX win of the season at Springfield amongst many good placings for the club.
