I wasn’t particularly concerned about this as I had no great aspirations for the race so I rolled up to the start, took of my jacket and arm warmers and leant over the barriers to get a good luck hug from daughter #2 – it was at this point that the exceptionally loud starting pistol went and everyone apart from me started racing!
Broome Heath was pretty crisp at 7.00am on Sunday morning and - thanks to race organiser, Shaun Aldous, 5 volunteers, 140 white stakes and 4km of course tape - was slowly being transformed from a dog walkers mecca to a cyclo cross race course.
We are very pleased to let you know that Iceni Velo is now up and running and taking membership.
