The first ever Yorkshire Local Teams Championships was a stressful affair to say the least. With last minute rider changers, starting the event late waiting around for team riders who never showed and teams having to drop out at the minute I was starting to wounder if this was a good idea. With a massive storm looming in the back ground 8 teams out of the 11 registered battled it out for the title.
I wanted to try something different and fresh so with that in mind the format was simple....a team of 5 riders, 4 male and 1 female, two race runs added together then added to your team mates time to get a total team time. There were a few timing issues and "I must apologise for that" but we struggled through and Team Cycopath (A) came out on top as Yorkshire Local DH Team Champs for 2013, closely followed by Team Avit Dirt/Rockerline in second and Team Over-ride in third.
I would like to thank all the other teams for taking part: Team Sheffield Uni, Team Cycopath (B), Team Cycle Supreme, Team Muttly Crew and Team WFO. A special thanks to all the girls who rode for the teams, you all were amazing. To the spectators who were load and cheered all the riders on. Steve and Denise for the time keeping and Dave Clarkson for all the amazing pictures.
