Riders line up at the start line

The Cyclo-Cross, an annual competition 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.

Riders from two Troops in Sutton District took part: 3rd Carshalton and 14th Wallington. In the under-12 race 14th Wallington achieved joint 5th team place, in the under-14 race 3rd Carshalton team achieved first team place (winning the trophy) and in the under-16 race 14th Wallington achieved 2nd individual and 2nd team place.
