3rd Winter Race Report

3rd Winter Race Report

Who would have thought we were in November!!! It was another warm and sunny day on Saturday 12^th November , the course at Sinfin Moor Park was set  along side the touch lines of the football pitch and running around the trees for added interest.  

We started off with the U16's, U14's & U12's race. Mathew Alton took a flyer from the whistle with Oliver Price and Reuben Blakeman heading the chase. As the race went on the heavy ground was having an impact on the competitors and they had to dig deep to keep going. Alana Taylor showed her fighting strength and managed to maintain 3^rd spot over the line whilst Oliver pipped Reuben on the last bend.  Peter Clayton , Jamie Walker and Felix Pickering-Syms all managed to last the gruelling 15 minute race. Well done to all of you J

We decided to combine the U10's & U8's race as we were unusually down on U'8 riders. As usual Ben Chilton rode away from the start and let the rest of the field battle it out for the remaining places. Archie Wania and Amber Scales battled hard to keep Joe Habgood and Carter Howe behind them, Aden Lower-Newson and Christopher Nethercote dug deep to finish the punishing circuit.  I just want to say a special Thank You to Ben Chilton who won the race and decided to turn down his medal to give another competitor a chance to stand on the podium. Well done to everyone you did yourself proud J

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.  

Keep up the riding
