Maindy Flyers’ customary Christmas ‘Cross brought another very successful Welsh Cyclo-Cross League season to a cold and wet end at Mountain Ranch overlooking Caerphilly Mountain.

Riders sought warmth and hot food and drinks in the site’s canteen and engraved glass plaques and perpetual trophies were duly presented by Welsh Cycling Chair, Nick Smith. A total of 222 riders entered the 6 events required for an overall standing, with 94 of these under 12.
