Normal club this Saturday. Although there will be less coaches than normal we anticipate coaching for both road and off-road.

 

5 of our riders competed in the 1st of the Southern Region Track Omniums at Welwyn Wheelers. Our riders did very well, especially against some fearsome competition.

Francesca Morgans-Slader came 6th in the U16 girls and Bryony Board came a very creditable 12th (her first omnium). In the u14 boys Cameron Gutteridge came 7th (also his first omnium) and James Ambrose-Parish 10th. In the U12 boys Simon Bird came did us proud by coming 4th.

A very enjoyable day as the weather stayed fine all day and was even hot on a number of occasions!
