A big thank you to all those that came to the Eastern and Central Champs to cheer-on and a massive well done to all that raced on what proved to be a tricky course! Thanks even more for your patience during the stop in proceedings - it was much appreciated.

Thanks as well to the incredibly generous prize donators Dialled Bikes; Troy Lee Designs, SRAM, Truvativ, Rock Shox and Kaaboom! (Fisher Outdoor); Gusset and Halo (Ison Distribution); DMR and Geax (Upgrade Bikes); Madison.co.uk; Nema (Chocolate Distribution); Continental; Dees Cycles; Tring Brewery; Monster Energy and Swiss and Swallow.

Massive thanks also to all the marshals who donated their time (and diesel!) to making it a smooth-running event.

That’s it! Well done to all the racers on a great race and the spectators on the great atmosphere - hope you enjoyed it! Final results, photos and a race report will be posted asap.

So - same time next year?
