SSSCCRRL ’25
SSSCCRRL 2025
That’s a wrap for the 2025 season. The results of the final round and all the final league tables are on the results page.
Champions crowned. Stories told
Our champions across General, Women’s, Vet 40, Vet 50 & Vet 60. To everyone who raced, cheered, volunteered – we hope we gave you even half of what you gave us.
@josh_horsfield13 @reflex_nopinz
Solo hit out in Round 1, jersey on his back from start to finish. Faced a challenge from the legendary Ian Gilkes (now of Insta fame!) but stayed cool, bagged 2 wins, and never looked under pressure. Class act.
@_becca_9 @teamboompods
Local powerhouse 💥 Starting in Group 2, she tore through the field. “That Becca is an animal — she ripped my legs off!” said one rider. Outsprinted a stacked women’s field to take the win from @leah_dixie . Beast mode activated.
@jackwilsun (Vet 40)
Took the jersey from @nickymorris1590 at Bobbington and never let go. A tight GC battle all series, with both riders trading blows and staying within a few spots of each other. Jack sealed it with a strong Top 10 at Leighton. Grit and consistency!
@fenton4697 @aerologic_rt (Vet 50)
Took the jersey early and held off a fierce challenge from Stacey Morgan – separated by just 1 point after 4 rounds! After Stacey’s crash at Leighton, Mark powered through to take the title. Recently back from serious illness – Mark, we salute your courage and commitment.
@kevin920336 @stourbridge_cycling_club (Vet 60)
Regional legend and leader of the orange train 🚂. Took the win with style and support. Huge shout to runner-up @neil86474 racer, volunteer, and all-round top bloke. Always smiling, always giving back. You’re what this league is all about.Thanks for the memories. Here’s a couple of videos to remind you to come back next year when we hope to do it all again – check out @YaarMateJosh’s on-bike camera work as well.

The 2024 season ends…
After a season much disrupted by weather and other events, the sun finally came out for the last round of the series. The race, organised by Bridgnorth Cycling Club, was held on the newly re-activated Pattingham course, last used almost 30 years ago, a tough course for the climbers and puncheurs of the league.

Our jersey sponsor, Jacob Tipper, of Jacob Tipper Performance Coaching, was invited to present the winners with their medals and jerseys. He was also invited to race if he wished, an opportunity which he took. Despite protestations of lack of form and training, he then proceeded to win the race showing that whatever his form, he retained his class.

We were then welcomed by the landlord of the Pigot Arms for the presentations and speeches which took place in the beer garden in the late evening sunshine. Unfortunately, the race finished too late for us to be able to sample their menu but we were all able to quench our thirst with a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Waiting for the speeches. Photograph by Jimmy Naudi After a speech of thanks from our chairman, John Ireson, to all involved with the league for enabling it to happen and a special vote of thanks to the league organiser, Mike Jackson, for all his hard work in promoting and organising the league over the years on the occasion of his stepping down from this role, the top three riders in each category (Overall, Veteran, Junior and 4th Cat) were presented with their medals by Jacob Tipper with the winner of each category also being awarded the winner’s jersey.
Medals awaiting being awarded with Mike Jackson (L) and John Ireson (R). Photograph by Jimmy Naudi The winners in each category were:-
Overall – Aidan Wade
Veteran – Ian Gilkes, HUUB BCC Race Team
Junior – Benjamin Southgate, Wrekinsport
4th Cat – Benjamin Southgate, Wrekinsport
