The Geoff Bewley Memorial Cyclo Cross in Liverpool was organised by the Liverpool Century Road Club which was founded in 1916 so in this our Centenary year we have organized a variety of new and old events that culminate with next weeks Centenary dinner to be held at Liverpool Cathedral with special guests Adam Blythe, Mark McNally, Jonny McEvoy Martin and Catherine Earley.

Last weekend was the Annual Geoff Bewley cyclocross event (GBCX), held at Otterspool Park as part of the North West cyclo cross league and the club were delighted to host around 300 riders on a day that beamed bright even after some hail and torrential rain the previous night.

On a varied but challenging course that focused on the central amphitheater section but also featured the classic Mur de Ottersberg climb, the early going was soft and therefore was rapidly chewed up by the trundling wheels of racers all the way down to 6 years old.

The promoting clubs Thomas Stewart summed up the conditions stating that “every lap was a different challenge with parts that were previously fine suddenly becoming totally treacherous”. UK cyclocross remains a fantastic entry into the sport for the numerous youngsters who dashed around the park within a variety of race categories, each rider rewarded with a medal and the winners fortunately enough to go home with items from event sponsors Picton Cycles, Quinns Bike Centre, Kalas Sportswear and the delicious Tilly Traybakes !

By the time the large veterans and ladies field took to the course, any grass had become sloppy mud so many of the weekend warriors struggled with the off camber sections and claggy slogs! Rebecca Preece won the Womens race, taking back the title she lost to Evie Richards in 2015, and gained a sixth Geoff Bewley winner jersey supplied by club sponsor Bioracer (Onimpex). In a tightly contested Veterans race Andrew Brindle won a last lap burnup with Nicolas Whitely.

In the Senior men event the early pace was set up current national junior cyclocross champion Mark Donovan before he had to give best to national performer Giles Drake. Jack Humphries took third place after catching and passing James Dalton after a race long chase.

Thanks to the events lead organiser Mike Fugaccia and all the marshalls and league officials who made this event a local highlight for the northwest cyclocross scene.
