The Classic Shropshire Weekend started off in grand style with beautiful weather for the Titterstone Clee Fell Race, early arrivals were treated to a fantastic vista as they climbed out of Ludlow up to Clee Hill with the lowlands over Worcestershire & Herefordshire swathed in low cloud and just the higher ground poking out like ships at sea. The crystal clear visability remained for the race with perfect conditions making for fast running, however that didn't stop half the field taking the wrong route and allowing the more stately plodders like myself to find faster running and maybe finish higher up the order than we should, however Pete Vale came home in convincing style in preparation for his attempt at two wins in one weekend

The good conditions lasted throughout whole weekend and made for good racing on the Sunday too, and non better than between the leading two with Pete Vale and Simon Bailey battling all the way to the line, just half a second between them at the finish, Tim Werrett was third, with Andy Davies making sure of a Team Win for Mercia.

The Ladies Race was won by Anna Bartlett, Shrewsbury AC in terrific form over Tracey Jayne Greenway of Ashbourne and Gill Evans from Shepshed.

Finally, many thanks to all those who help to make this weekend happen.
