27th November 2005:
Lincs League Cyclo-Cross: Sunday 27th November Ostlers Plantation near Woodhall Spa was the venue for the latest round of the Lincs cyclo-cross league. Frosty conditions ensured that the ground was hard and made for fast racing. Bourne Wheelers Cycling Club rider Alistair Slater blasted around the course and despite being only twelve years old he finished 7th overall in the Under16's category and won the Under 14s category.  Photo of Alistair at the Go-Ride activities at the Tour of Britain Nottingham stage finish earlier this year. |
