NESS XC 2025 R1 – Ipswich 26/10/25
26 October 2025 - By Jodee Mayer
A sunny, if a bit blustery, start to the XC season this year, and a return to the Ipswich Fixture which I heard a few people describe as a great season opener – a reminder of what XC is all about before we throw the mud and hills at it for more fun!
A good turn out from WRC, and those of us stood on the finish straight were witness to some epic sprint finishes – great work team!
A massive thanks to our bakers, and to our cheerers, photo takers, and token collectors – Beth Shippey, Dionne Radley, Gary Elson, and James Montgomery.
Team Results
Our men came 4th, our women came 4th and we finish ….. 4th!
A good start to the season, but there is work to do to climb to the dizzying heights of last season (and of course, overtake our rivals Gt Bentley).
