Three club members took part in the Nesscliffe Nasty at the weekend with success. Steve Orrells was the first MV50 in 30th , Glyn Jones came in at 36th and Caroline O in a very creditable 78th, as it was her first competitive race for some time.
Nice to see Steve getting back to his form of past years. (Sorry the original posting named Glyn Fletcher instead of Glyn Jones. Glyn Fletcher claims he has never been as slow as Steve O !!!!. )
