Seconded!
I await the YouTube video link...
In the meantime I'll have to console myself with the Sporza coverage of the World Cup & World Champs (hopefully) instead.

Much more pleasant than going to derby. Nice course, good commentary, relaxed, good tea stall, and nice scenery (if you look towards Arran). 

Great attendance from ETC juniors, who returned with 2 golds, 2 silvers and 4 bronzes.

I'm sure fuller reports/pictures will follow, but I wanted to say thanks to the junior coaches & helpers for doing a great job.

Cracking ride by Greig Walker in the senior mens race!

Going by the lap times list it seems like he had a strong surge near the end to move up to 4th place and then finished only 10 seconds off the podium!

Club (joint) hill climb champion Colin May finished in 12th.

Latest video from Emma.  Unfortunately the camerawork by her Mum let her down and provided very little for her to work with.  However she did the best she could and has managed to give all the Juniors riders a namecheck.  Sorry no video of Greig and Colin.

It was a great event - if you like the seaside that is - and gives a good flavour of Youth cyclocross.

Colin May's effort was all the more special given that he was on a single speeder. The course was full of steep ups and downs, leg sucking sand and fastish flat grass sections, a very good but challenging course.  Well done that man !
