1st Winter Race Report
1st Winter Race Report
The first of the winter races was held at a new venue, Hilton Farm on Saturday 10th September 2011. The day turned out to be a warm one and the course was one of the toughest we have had. It was great to see lots of new faces to join our regular racers.
We started the races with a combined U12/U14 & U16; it was fast & furious with Kieran Howarth pulling away to take the win. George Swindell rode an excellent race finishing 1st U12 and 2nd in the U14's.
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 2nd 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 3rd 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.
