Hope Factory Racing's Dave Collins was the winner of the senior men's race at the Midlands Cyclo-Cross Championships. He finished almost two minutes clear of Phil Dixon, who has been dominating the West Midlands events this season, with Ben Eedy third, a further minute or so back.
Veteran rider Louise Day was the women's category winner, from Lauren Creamer and Sarah Reynolds, in a well supported race. The Junior winner was Perry Bowater, ahead of Joe Page and Luke Grivell-Mellor.
Darren Atkins was the winner of the Veterans' race, which saw well over 100 starters for the three main categories. He was followed in by Geoff Giddings and the 2008 national champion, Steven Knight, underlining the quality as well as the depth of the field. National over-50 champion ian Wright took that category, whilst Vic Barnett was the over 60 victor.
The Under-14 title went to James Shaw, whilst the first girl home was Sarah Lomas.Joe Kirkham took the Youth race, which was another to see a big field - in this case 37 riders - whilst Hannah Payton was the winner of the girls' race.
