Saturday 13th March – LVYCC Winter Series final round

Date March 8, 2010

This Saturday sees the final round in our Winter Series Circuit races. There’s bounds to be lots of interest as Points mean Places (apologies for that – I just got carried away!!) If you want to know who is currently where in the series then click on the following link to find out:

Series position before last round.

As we are organising and running the races this Saturday can we encourage as many parents to offer help as possible. We will need marshalls, particularly on the lower circuit. If you have a rider entered in the Under 8s, 10s and 12s you can still watch the race and help with marshalling at the same time!! Bike hire section can also do with some assistance and for the off-roaders any parents who would like to ride with their kids would be welcome.

Many thanks to all.

Late news!! We have the San Fairy Ann results from last Saturday(obtained from their website HERE. It is an Excel file with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 has the results for U8, U10 and U12 whilst sheet 2 has results for U14 and U16.

The more people we have helping the less often everyone needs to do it!

We are lucky to have new members joining but they are often just replacing those who leave once they get to our youth upper age limit.

San Fairy Ann Circuit Races 27th Feb Results

Date March 4, 2010

The results are on the British Cycling website and can be accessed HERE

We were well represented in the youth races and our riders did well. Unfortunately the only results I have found so far just give the first 3 in each race rather than a full listing.

Well done to our riders. It was good to see so many Lee Valley jerseys!
