santa cross world championships

Less than six weeks

2010-11-04T11:33:00.000-07:00

Well, their reigns are nearly at an end, Alexis and Iain will soon no longer be able to tell everyone that they are World Champions because it is less than six weeks till the third annual Santa Cross World Championships. This year there will be three categories, of young Santa (under 40) and original Santa (over 40) and of course Mrs Claus, all ages as we are too polite to ask ;-)

The race will again be at Glengorm Castle on Sunday the 12th of December with entries being taken on the line as usual so its time to dig out the red suits and get the hats attached to helmets.

See you there

much negotiation

2009-09-10T14:28:00.000-07:00

After much negotiation it has been agreed that the World Champions will be allowed to wear the furry armbands at all cyclocross events for that year.

rule change already

2009-08-28T07:16:00.001-07:00

There has been a petition put to the committee to ask that as this is the first Santacrossworlds that could mountainbikes be allowed. This has been acceoted, so now it is the first Santa over the line on any bike who is the winner.
