Re: CyclCross 2017 report
Is anyone going to the awards ceremony for WMCCL?
I’ve just got the email and I think I may have won something, but I’m not quite sure of the colour coding!

Hi Gav, we sent feedback to them and they’ve responded. There’s a few tweaks they’re going to make and we’ve sent them a giordana jersey to make sure things like colour, font and positioning are sorted. I’ll chase again for an update and let you know.

There's also two races that are done at Cannock. The spring series and the summer series.
I was hoping to do both this year as an intro to XC racing, but had a crash before the first and a clash with the second! It might be worth having a look at those?
