Last weekend racing report on the results I know about!!
Owen Williams took a great win last Sunday at Finsbury Park’s North London Criteriums Under 12 race. As it turned out, it was also the only races of the day as all following races were cancelled for safety reasons!
To see Owen crossing the line go to UKCyclesport’s report at the following link:

CC London staged the last of their Circuit Series at Hog Hill on Saturday 15th June. Here it was the Lee Valley Velo riders who came up with the results. First off was the women’s race which saw Francesca Morgans-Slader take her first win of the series. A final sprint up the Hoggenburg left the others behind.
We were treated to a flying diplay during the race as the Memorial Flypast for the Queen first of all passed right over us at Hog Hill. A magnificent sight led by the Lancaster bomber and finished by the Red Arrows!
Then came the rain and the 3/4 race. Jack Jeffery put in a great ride and avoided all the crashes to finish 5th. Well done Jack!
