Now what you no doubt have checked this site for...
Here are today's PROVISIONAL results (subject to usual moans and quibbles).

SCORES SO FAR

First of all - A Happy New Year to you all.

Hope we're keeping up the training and looking forward to the next few legs of the XC.

Here are, in the meantime, the "scores on the doors" so far...

Senior by gender
Senior by age category
Junior by gender
Junior by age category

Remember that the final results are based on the best 4 results from a possible 6. Given that we have only had three legs so far these results are purely indicative.


Also:

We've had a message: "James Britton left his long Karrimor leggings at the Lauder XC a few weeks ago.  Just wondered whether the kind person who found them in their panniers still had them.." If you do I'm sure James would love to be reunited with them.

See you all at the next race.
