WCAC Off-Road Summer League 2019 Round 5
Nine purple vests, including two juniors and the entire Duffey Quartet, added to the colour of the sunny Langley Fete at Sutton near Macclesfield on Sunday.
No prizes for guessing who most enjoyed which of the varied attractions promised by the organisers, including “family fun, pet show, BEER and CAKE tents, BBQ, tug of war”, but all deserved for bolstering the numbers of a small field tackling a short, tough race.
League first-timers Claire and Joy were first woman and first Vet50 woman respectively, with ever-present league leader Ellie second woman on the day, and similarly ever-present Alex consolidating her league second place.
Richard Hayes was first purple vest home and first Vet40 man, moving up to equal 2nd in the league standings. Likewise, Andy and Mark made huge strides up both the hill and the league table, to 4th and joint 6th respectively.
A special well done to Georgina and Henrietta Duffey who, although not counting in the league, ran well and both beat at least one parent π
Standings are now up at the bottom of the off-road page. There’s a two-and-a-half week breather before round 6, the midweek Green Green Grass of Home at Llangynhafal on Wednesday July 24th.
