National Trophy Cyclocross Rd 1: DerbyWith no Wessex Cyclocross League event this weekend, Catherine Pascoe completed Round 1 of the National Trophy Series in Derby on Saturday. Heavy rain showers on Friday had left the course soft in places, but the bright and breezy weather on Saturday meant that the course was drying out well by the time Catherine’s race started at midday. The two scaffolding bridges on the course were the main worry for Catherine, as she has little experience of riding up these towering structures. The remainder of the course was mostly on grass, with a lot of off-camber sections. Seventeen women made up the 50-59 and 60+ categories, starting 2 minutes after the 40-49 category. |
 A good start for Catherine meant that she was still not far off the main bunch by the time they reached the first of the technical sections. However, that was the closest she got to the rest of the field, as they began to pull away. Catherine finished 15th of 15 in the 50-59 category, which was what she expected given the quality of the other riders. Bridges still remain the least favourite bit of these UCI courses but the experience was well worth the long journey. |
