Some of the country's best cyclo-cross riders will be heading to West Yorkshire on Sunday as Bradford Olympic stage their annual charity fancy dress event at Hebden Bridge.

Starting at 11am, the event always attracts a good mix of serious competitors and people riding for fun and should prove a good spectacle, with all the proceeds this year going towards Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

The course is based at Heptonstall Social Club and will be tackled first by the under-12 riders at 11am before the main race at noon, where all other categories will ride together.

  • Keighley's Matt Denby had to settle for seventh spot in the Lincolnshire League event last Sunday after struggling to cope with the challenge of the local riders in the event at Winterton Showground staged by Cottingham Coureurs.

VC Lincoln's Mark Cotton won the 12-mile event by almost two and a half minutes and he was one of five riders from that club in the top ten.

Denby clocked 1hr 00min 49sec, four and a half minutes behind Cotton and was the fourth best veteran to finish from a field of 37 riders.

  • Many cyclo-cross riders were left without a race after the cancellation of the Roses Challenge competition against Lancashire, with the organisers failing to agree with the local council for the use of Sherdley Park in St Helens.

The event looks set to be re-arranged to a date in January which has yet to be fixed, but a different venue is highly probable.
