A bit of a cool and breezy day but a flat and fast course for those ERRs who joined over a thousand others. Well done to Hugh for his category prize (did they hand any out?) and club MV70 record. The lack of some speedsters meant it was a bit of a joker-fest. Let me know if I missed yours.

Summer has officially started, and for once the weather was also in keeping. Good to see quite a few newcomers to this series in ERR colours, as well as the return of some notable grandees. Particular congratulations to category winners Kate and Sheila (despite being injured) and to John for finishing 3rd MV60. The results are the usual shambles at this point - neither Jane nor Adrian ran last night, but they are still included. If yours is missing/wrong, please let me know and we can pass it on to the timekeepers. Update (4/5): Jane and Adrian have been removed from the results. Update (10/5): Hugh's time/placing corrected.

Described as a quintessentially english atmosphere beforehand, this was a tough but very scenic race, if you dared look up for enough. No category prizes were on offer, but well done to Tom and Dafydd for finishing so high up. Both John and I were missing from the official results, so I've added our positions to the list.

Pretty good conditions for running today in the Vale. Congratulations to Ros and Kate for their category prizes in what was a pretty high quality race, as demonstrated by John being 7th V60 with a time of 1:32. Anyway, a few jokers were played, but let me know if I missed any.

A couple of issues with the results, firstly that the website is really poor, and also that Nadine was given the wrong race number mean that these are TBC. Nadine may well have been 3rd LV60, but this has yet to be confirmed by the organisers. The club champs tables will be based on this finishing order. Update (9/3): Nadine's time confirmed, which makes her 3rd LV60.

Well done to the intrepid few ERRs who made it over the border to Buckinghamshire. Regarding the series results, Katherine was joint 2nd LV60 for the series, but was adjudged 3rd on some sort of countback method. Not sure of the team positions - probably best not to ask.

A pretty decent ERR turnout on a fine day at this rolling course. Congratulations to Laura and Ros for winning their categories, John and Katherine for finishing 2nd in theirs (no prizes for 2nd here, unfortunately), and to Hugh for breaking Paul Creasey's club MV70 record, which was also set at Winslow back in 2015. Well done also to Mary for her first appearance in club colours.
