Riders line up at the start line
The Cyclo-Cross, an annual competition for Scouts and Explorer Scouts held at Frylands Wood Scout Campsite, took place on Sunday 9th October. The weather was warm and sunny and, as in 2004, the course was unusually dry. Forty-seven cyclists took part, representing fifteen Troops and Units from all over Greater London South West.
The Cyclo-Cross is a team event for teams of three or more cyclists in each age category. The score for each team is the sum of the highest three places achieved (for example, 4th, 6th and 11th places would give a team score of 21). Where there are fewer than three cyclists in a team, the third place or second and third places are given a position following the last place in the race.
Three Explorer Units were represented in the over-16 race with three riders from one Unit in Sutton District: the Double Dragon Explorer Scout Unit. Double Dragon achieved 1st, 3rd and 5th individual places and won 1st team place.
