Our last post was about one of our oldest riders. Now for one of our youngest. And they have two things in common: they both ride for Wolverhampton Wheelers, and they both won their age category in the WMCCL. Esme Wilson was our Under-6 Female winner. Esme won all but one of the eight races […]
Eleven guys in their 70s competed in WMCCL 2024. The leader among them was Phil Metcalfe of Wolverhampton Wheelers. He finished well ahead of Pete Ward (second) and Ian Forrester (third). As you will see from his review of the season below, Phil regards himself as a ‘participating spectator’. We think that Phil and his […]
Vikki Sivertsen of Malvern Cycle Sport picked-up the V55-59 category win for a second year. Two Stourbridge CC riders – Joanne Acha (second) and Isla Rowntree (third) – were in close contention, but Vikki was able to maximise her points tally with nine consistently good finishes in the Women’s race. Here are her own reflections […]
Scarlett Ford of Stratford CC is our Under-16 Female Champion for 2024. This was a really competitive category, with only eight points separating the top three riders. Scarlett won it with three wins – including the Regional Championship – and by always making the podium. Mia Lewis was second and Jaime Downing third. They also […]
In our youngest category (Under-6), our Boys winner for 2024 is Bradley Walker of Newport Shropshire CC. He won eight of the eleven races. That put him well ahead of Henry Keay, who won two, and Ranulph Shipley, who won one. This was Bradley’s second season of cyclocross within the WMCCL. He had a season […]
Sally Reid of Pedal Power Loughborough was our clear winner in the V65-69 Female category, but that tells only half the story. In spite of being the second oldest rider in the field, she finished in the top 9 overall in every race she did and achieved the 13th highest points average amongst all the […]
Our Under-8 Female winner is Maddison Davies of The Bulls CC. She is one of the many riders from Wales who we welcome into the League. And, from this great start, it looks like Wales has another potential cyclocross star in the making. Maddie won seven rounds in WMCCL 2024. She was only beaten twice […]
Consistency was the key for our V60-64 winner Mark Mullender of CC Giro. He won two events and was on the podium in four others. That was enough to put him ahead Mike Vaughan and Peter Bromwich in this tightly contested category – in which the top five were separated by only 11 points. Mark […]
We are very proud of the young riders who start out in our league and go on to ride at the top level internationally. One of those riders is our U23 Female winner this year: Rebecca Woodvine of RR23 runandride.co.uk. Rebecca is at the start of her international cyclocross journey, and we hope that it […]
Our Under-14 Male winner this year, with a remarkable 100% record, was Isaac Vickery of Rotor Race Team. Isaac won all ten of the League races he did in 2024 – including the West Midlands Regional Championships. He was chased all the way by two riders who finished equal on points. Jude White and Lucas […]
