ACRRS Rd 6 & Williams Trophy hosted by the REME 🇹🇩 - Results 🏁

If there was one word to describe Rd 6 of the ACRRS from last week’s race, it would be ‘cobbles’. The series headed north once again to Bradford for not only Rd 6, but also the Williams Trophy. It was the ACRRS answer to the “Hell of the North” (Paris-Roubaix), with a cobbled climb, wind, and rain, which made for some very exciting racing, with 60 riders heading to Bradford looking for glory. “WHAT A DAY” it was with fantastic performances across all the categories from our REME riders with podiums and race wins 🥳🇹🇩

Sad times but we’ve got to announce with the extreme weather warnings the FOS has been cancelled and therefore we’ve decided to delay the REME Road Race Champs till later on in the year. The next ACRRS is Redbridge before the final round hosted by us 🇹🇩 up in Wyke.

And finally, don’t forget Rule 20 // There are only three remedies for pain. These are:
If your quads start to burn, shift forward to use your hamstrings and calves, or
If your calves or hamstrings start to burn, shift back to use your quads, or
If you feel wimpy and weak, meditate on Rule #5 and train more!
