A BIG THANKS TO KEVIN WRIGHT, JOHN ELLIOTT & DAVE GAME FOR HELPING ME ORGANISE MY FIRST TRAIL RACE. TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, SOME PEOPLE SEEMED TO THINK THAT ‘TAYLOR’S TRAIL’ WAS RICHARD TAYLOR’S TRAIL RACE ON 29TH AUGUST 2007, BUT IT WAS JUST THE NAME THAT I CAME UP WITH AS BECKY & I WALKED IT WITH OUR LITTLE GIRL TAYLOR, WHEN SHE WAS JUST 7 WEEKS OLD. THE CATEGORY WINNERS HI-LIGHTED EITHER POST A MESSAGE ON THE CHATBOARD OR E-MAIL ME AT roger@freightbrain.co.ukWITH THEIR SHOE SIZE AND I’LL SORT OUT SOME OFF ROAD RUNNING SOCKS AS PRIZES.
COMFORTABLE WINS BY GARY CHANDLER & TRACEY WOODYARD. RESPECT TO ANDY MASON & PETE DEDMAN WHO CYCLED FROM CHELMSFORD AND THEN WON THEIR CATEGORIES! THANKS TO EVERYBODY ELSE FROM SEVERAL CLUBS FOR THEIR SUPPORT INCLUDING LEN CLARKE WHO CAME ALONG TO SPECTATE. ALSO, THANKS TO LUCY & NATHAN FOR HELPING TO POLISH OFF THE BISCUITS! NEXT ONE PROBABLY STISTED WHEN I KNOW THE XC DATES.
