Congratulations to VC Beverley member and Wilsons Wheels racer Paul Rymer, who has just had his third cat licence delivered before the season’s properly started!
Many more points are likely in 2012 and beyond from this very talented young rider, who most recently got an extremely respectable 8th in the Active/CP Cycles RR.

Welcome to the new riders who joined us on what turned out to be a good long steady ride on the first non-windy day for ages.

Proper Yorkshire mud
Well the bike’s been hosed down and the kit washed, and with a cool glass of Budvar in hand it’s time to take stock of mine, Gary K and Droppy’s first ‘cross event ever, and Martin’s first of 2011.
