Calshot Visit Sunday 15th June 2008
Despite many other events on, not least the London-Brighton
run, we had full support for our second trip to the Calshot indoor velodrome.
The eight riders who were able to go were: Alex, Stephanie,
Joe, Jack M, Jonathan, the Preston Bro's Lewis and Ben and Tom.
Again we shared the day with the guys from Sutton CC and
between us, managed to run a very full three hours. All riders who were there
for their second visit improved on their flying one
lap time.
With Lewis Preston, aged 8, improving 5 seconds, the most
improvement of the 18 riders there. I'm happy to say the fastest three were
from the Go-Ride Bexley/Woolwich CC. Alex fastest with Stephanie 9/100ths of a
second off his time, followed by Joe on his first visit. Is it a coincidence
that the fastest two were using bikes donated to the club by ex-riders? Does
anyone else have any kit to loan or donate?
I was helped all day by Ollie, who managed the timings and
produced the certificates for the riders before they had finished their warm
down laps, but the biggest thanks go to the riders, drivers/parents who get
them there. it's a long day.
Well done kids! Thanks, Terry.
How about a parents/kids day some time, trying out the track?
