Well that’s Cyclothon 2018 done and dusted and what a truly fantastic day it was!  The event always seems to be blessed with good weather and apart from some slight drizzle during the prize giving, this years was no exception.  I sounded the klaxon at 0730 and then we were off for a gruelling twelve hour stint on the track. In between laps there was much hilarity to be had, all day food, complimentary massages and of course plenty of rugby banter to see us through. As much as it pains me to say this, I have to hand it to the Dragons who beat us Bulldogs yet again! Maybe next year will be our year…
 
We welcomed a total of twenty-two teams and over two hundred people took part. After a long and hard won battle, the reigning champions Sumo Digital took the winning title including the Games Aid cup home once again.  One up from last year in second place came Darke & Taylor who also won the HQR Cup and in third place came Spike-T, a feat made all the more amazing due to them being a father and son team of just three.
 
Huge congratulations to Queen of the Hill and the Fastest Female Lorna Bowler. To King of the Hill, Paul McHugh and Fastest Male Andrew Wynn.
 
Massive thank you also goes to our brilliant Commentator Anthony McCrossan and to all our sponsors: Swerve, Sega, Schwalbe, Scimitar and Furniture Village.  We thank you enormously for your continued support.
 
Save the Date: Thursday 5th September – Cyclothon 2019.
