High winds forced the cancellation of the final round of the Eastern Cyclo-Cross League – and blew away the remaining chance that Norfolk rider Kieran Jarvis could step up from the runners-up position in the Senior Men's League.
So the win goes to Hog Hill racing circuit staffman James Madgwick (QSW) while Jarvis (Team OnForm), long this season's League leader, occupies second spot for the third year in succession.
There remain Norfolk winners in several other classes, however.
Three Norfolk riders had already made sure of League championships - Jimmy Piper in the 50-plus Vets, Callum Laborde in the Under 16 Boys and Baily Groombridge in the Under 8s. Mia Rutterford (Iceni Velo) joins these as Under 14 Girls champion.
Though numbers of female competitors are rising fast in cyclo-cross, Norfolk does less well than Suffolk - only Florence Barnett (King's Lynn CC), runner-up to Mia Rutterford, features in the medal winners. Suffolk riders Elvita Branch and Jo Newstead are Senior and Vet Champions this season.
Joining Jarvis as category runners-up from the local area are U16 rider Joseph Smith (Iceni Velo), Ian Newby (Diss & District, V50), Nigel Herrod (Rotor, V60), and Stuart Pryce from Beccles (Strada, V40).
League awards are expected to be presented at the AGM at the Maglia Rosso cafe, Hawstead, on Monday March 30.
Wisbech Wheeler Becky Taylor was among the prize-winners at the Veterans' TTA Awards Lunch in Exning.
Becky covered a remarkable 262 miles in the National Championship 12 Hour in Norfolk last August - one of the stand-out time-trial rides of last season.
Diss Cycling Club member Sean Cole has recently returned from an epic cycle camping journey. Sean, well known as a former staff member at Madgetts Cycles and organiser of the Diss club's classic Medium Gear 25, covered 4,918 miles riding from Alaska to La Paz in Mexico. The 31 year-old started out in September and returned to Diss earlier this month.
