Congratulations to Adrian Grimwood who attended the British Cycling Awards Dinner on Saturday evening, having been nominated for a Volunteer’s Award. He was one of 17 recipients of these awards, given for outstanding service to cycling, in Adi’s case for his continued organisation of the Ixworth Crits, now recognised as a rare and successful example of a real street crit that is open to all categories of riders.

Adrianreports that there were over 500 attendees, including many international stars receiving their awards, and he managed to plug the event to several team managers and top riders ! It was a most memorable event, not least for the nightmare journey home from Birmingham on snow covered roads, eventually making it back at 4.30 am !

Well done Adrian, and Des, who shared the drive home.
