Last cross race in the league today, I rode abysmally as usual, crashed twice, caught out by toe-overlap on a narrow 180°the first time, and a high kerb hidden under some tall grass the second time. Nearly came off a third time when a foot-long piece of metal from an engine (hidden in the grass again) decided to get with the party and temporarily hook itself on to my pedal, which was exciting.
Had enough league points in the bag to finish second overall in the womens category though, so took home a medal and bottle of wine. For anyone who is London-based and interested in trying cross racing the Central League is great, super friendly people, small fields, and good courses. Plus you can easily get to all of the courses by train (what I've been doing).
