Although the wind on the V718 was much less than the previous day its strength and direction proved the downfall of many great rides in the Team Swift Charity Ten on sunday.

Julia Shaw and Michael Hutchinson were clearly looking for new national records but fell just short. Hutch scorc...

You know what I mean - nothing for a while then several all at once!
Well that's what it was like in Saturdays YCF 30 mtt on the V240.

Yet again this course was blessed with a very hard cross wind for most of its length and a full on 'block head' at the turn and for 3 miles towards the finish which did much to reduce some good times.

From the outset the intention of the 'tea...

Saturday saw the running of the ever popular Team Swift 100 mtt on the V278 [Dishforth] course. Coditions were reported as good to fair with variable cross / head winds on the course. Clearly many did not see it that way as no less than 44 were DNS / DNF!

Over the course of the season several new members have joined the Club. One of these Mick McLeavy was among the founder members some 40 odd years ago! Mick, still as keen as ever, brought his son David along to help back up his triathlon training. Understandably there has been a little'friendly competition' between the two in the events they have ridden.

Pre race chat was of 'float conditions and fast times' prior to Drighlington CCs' 25 mtt on the V236/1 but how wrong they were. Clearly the sheltered aspect of HQ mislead us all as we were to soon find out.

Having ensured that Stu Wadsworth knew where the finish was on this...

Saturday 8th sees Bridlington CC promote a 10mtt on the V718 which has attracted some class riders from Yorkshire DC along with the 'Return of the Hutch!'

This looks like the last chance for 'lesser mortals' this season as the Team Swift event in a couple of weeks is reported to have attracted a 'class field' due to it being fully open and on a weekend!

CRC has got nine riders in...
