On Friday the 27th February 2015, a few of our regular cyclo-cross riders enjoyed the pleasure of an evening with fellow Central CXL winners, where their respective successes of the 2014/15 season were celebrated! Caitlin Loveless, Elsa Kristiansson and Astrid Spragg all attended the prize-giving and were congratulated by Mac on their respective achievements. Here’s what they had to say about the season…
 Mac & Caitlin “I was really pleased Slipstreamers came 1st and 2nd it was nice to win another medal. I liked the central league and really enjoyed Cyclocross. It’s muddy and tiring but I like that. |
 Mac & Astrid “Cyclocross is a fun, rewarding sport. Even if you don’t win, if you try your best you get a prize. This year was an ordinary year but we did cyclocross so it wasn’t so ordinary for us. We met friends and had lots of fun in a competitive way. You should try it out too!!!” |
 Elsa wearing her medal with pride!
“I’m Elsa Kristiansson, I’m 15, and came 2nd U16 girl in the Central League for cyclocross. I really enjoyed the cyclocross season: It was fun, and at times challenging, but if I’m honest, cyclocross is more fun when it’s challenging. I have learnt so much more skills, and I have got much stronger. The courses vary, from all grass to in a forest to in a school playing field. But that’s the beauty of it, you never know what to expect. Before this cyclocross season, I had never won anything before, and even though I didn’t win all the races, I still got points for turning up. You have to be in the race to win the race.”” |
