Cyclocross Roys Hill Open day

A successful fun morning of Cyclocross at Roys Hill today was a promising preseason start to whats to come.

25 riders enjoyed warm conditions with a skills session run by Carl Paton followed by 5 lap kids event and a 3 person team relay. Many laughs and a bit of mud to go with it thanks to over night rain made the day all the more enjoyable.

Thanks to the Hastings District Council and Gemma Newland for co-ordinating the event and keep checking the blog for the next Sunday cyclocross ride.
