Quite a few alternatives on offer today, so a fairly small ERR turnout on the flat, fast Hanney course.
Well done to Mark T for finishing 5th in such a competitive race, and to Denise for beating her own club record (though not her PB, will let you work that one out).
Not forgetting the many PBs (even mine!). If I missed anyone's, please let me know.

An excellent ERR turn-out for the Cotswold Classic / Witney 10, especially considering that quite a few regulars were on overseas duty.
Well done to Hannah and Mark T for their category prizes - when was the last time we won prizes in both Senior categories?
Robert's was the only joker I know of, but if you also played yours, or managed a PB, then let me know.

Well done to Mark for another excellent performance, and what I believe is an ERR record for that course (at least it was the best we could find since 2001).
Welcome to Tess on her Motavation debut, and welcome back to Katherine and Lisa after their first Motavations in a little while.
Hopefully the series results will be out shortly.
There were 277 finishers overall.

Too many hills and a few too many metres at Englefield for it to be a PB course, but well done to our ladies category winners. A smallish ERR turnout made for a fair few jokers to be played, and I hope people notice that we were led home by 'Team Acre End'.
Tess wasn't in club kit, so no points and a return of the jobsworth hat, although by all accounts she was relieved just to turn up in time for the start, so the Club Championship was of less importance.
Also, Luke was there and was certainly seen finishing, but isn't in the results.

Below are the results from the 2nd Combe Motavation. Well done to Mark and Robert for finishing so high up the field.
As I wasn't there I'll rely on our ace roving reporter Tara, who related the following tale.

A decent ERR turnout at Wycombe. Well done to Arthur and Gemma for some pretty big PBs.
Apparently Robert's time was a PW, but he still finished 9th, so not all bad.

An excellent turn-out of 31 ERR people at Waddesdon.
Particular congratulations to Kate and Jacky for their category prizes, distance specialist Chris for his PB, and Tom for beating his dad so comfortably.
Any jokers or PBs that I've missed, let me know.

37 ERR finishers among the 283 finishers, plus quite a few walking wounded watching (and cheering) from the sidelines.
Jonathan was the only one I know of to play a joker, but let me know if there were any others.

Some pretty impressive improvements on handicap times - normally this is won with a time 3 or 4 minutes better than handicap, so well done in particular to Elaine, Jennie and Sam.
Category winners are in italics, and juniors first.

Congratulatons to everyone who helped the club to record its best results ever in this event.
The ERR A team finished 5th, our highest position ever, and the overall time of 10 hours 28 minutes beat our previous best by 13 minutes.
The ERR Ladies team finished 27th overall, in a time of 12 hours 14 minutes, which was 35 minutes better than the previous best, and just over 2 minutes away from winning the ladies' prize.
The ERR B team finished 29th, and the time of 12 hours 22 minutes was 30 minutes better than 2012, and just 4 minutes off the best ever.
More importantly than any of this, we beat Alchester (this is just in response to various comments on their website).
The individual results are below:
