First round of the 2016 Lincolnshire Cyclo-Cross league took place at Sleaford Rugby Club on Sunday in pleasant warm and dry conditions.

There were no club participants in the opening U16 race but with a good field of over 30 riders there was a competitive race eventually won by Finn Mansfield of the MI Racing Academy in 24.16

In the U12s a large field of almost 50 riders saw Jessica East ride well for 17th overall and 5th girl.

From a club perspective the veterans race is the most competitive with 5 entries in the 85 rider field. At the end less than 50 seconds separated 4 riders with Dave Moulds just getting the better of Sean East. Paul Conneely faded a little over the closing laps after a fast start while Simon Cocker moved up well after a slow start and a fall on the third lap, after clipping the top of the dismount over the planks. Dave Miller rode well in the 60+ category having now fully recovered from last years broken collar bone. The race was run by Rick Lister (Team Ford Ecoboost) in 45.18
