A fantastic CX season comes to an end for Cardiff JIF. Crowned top team in the league and with winners and strong representation across the categories, the past, present and future looks bright. Here is the honours board, with top 10 positions (and a high 5 to the riders who narrowly missed out – join our training sessions on a Weds to help bridge the gap!), followed by Welsh Champs medals position (Where applicable).

So….how did we become team champs? Some might say ‘numbers’ and to a degree they are right. The idea of the team champs was (is) to encourage clubs to support the league as fully as possible. While we are not a big club, we are both a supportive club (with many of our members racing week in and week out) and a successful one; and that combination put us on top. Well done to every Jiffie that pulled on a top over the course of the CX season. Every point counts, both earning them for us and edging out other teams. Here’s to more success in 2020.

(And a special mention for Ethan Pratten below. He’s really developed this season and shows plenty of grit. Well done Ethan 👍).
