Premature end to the cyclo-cross season

Unfortunately Storm Darragh prevented the last event of the WMCCL series from taking place. This would have been a joint Beacon RCC/Stourbridge CC effort but the safety of the volunteers, riders, state of the arena, signing on all contributed to the decision to cancel. Disappointing: some of our riders flourish in bad weather and there may have been changes in overall league positions, but it wasn’t to be.

Notable league results: Tom Payton 2nd senior, Kevin Payton 4th V60, Jo Acha 2nd LV55, Isla Rowntree 3rd LV55.

SCC fielded 14 different riders during the season ( an increase over previous post-pandemic years) and finished 6th in the league, out of 34 teams/clubs.
