2019-20 Chiltern XC 3 - Luton

2019-20 Chiltern XC League Match 3 at Luton

As very few races are taking place at the moment, I'm creating some web pages entitled "where I was taking photos this time last year". Today, I'm looking at Match 3 of the Chiltern XC League which takes place at Stopsley Park in Luton. It is about 75M from Oxford.

There are details of the Chiltern XC League on this web page. Last year, Match 3 took place on Sat Dec 7th 2019. The race information for the event said "unfortunately, this year we are unable to use the more challenging parts of the course for the longer races - which may please some of you!" - that meant there were not so many hills!! This year's race was to have taken place today (Sat Dec 9th 2020). Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 it has had to be cancelled.

By the way, you can click on any of the photos on this web page to see the photo in hi-res.

Here's the map for last year's event - it is taken from the organizer's website.
