As soon as the U10's race had started it was clear we had a veteran racer: Ben Chilton took the race in his stride whilst the remaining children battled it out for positions, Sarah Briggs showed her determination by being first girl and 2^nd overall.

The finale is always our U8's race, it was the hardest fought of all the previous races, the top three riders (all on hired Cyclederby bikes) battled for 5 laps, it was only on the last corner that Ben Perry was able to power down the final straight and pip Otto Chilton to the flag, Louis Swindell's respectable 3^rd place was a great achievement as it was also his first cross race, we will be seeing more of him this year.

The other half of this race was also highly contested as the two girls Harriet and Rose battled it out with Mathew and Luke.

I want to say a big well done to all the children that took part in these races, the main thing is that you all came along and had fun.
