Weather: Super hot sun 9.00am-12.00 noon
Welfare: Ollie
Coach: Terry
Helpers: Mick McLaughlin, David Marshall
Session: Run by V.C. Londres
Riders: Alex Cozens, Liam and Kieran McLaughlin, Stephanie
Golding and Jack Miller
All signed on and drew bikes. Jack did the induction session
which was much better organised this year. Junior riders were on first.
Kieran showed a great turn of speed down the back straight in his
event and Jack took to the track well and his grin crossing the line showed all
I hope.
The general warm-up ride consisted of about 120 riders which VCL
split into groups and did about 20 lap sessions, sending fours and sixes off
the front to catch the main group. They were then split into three levels for
races.
Suggested ours rode the starter 8 lap race. 43 riders (good
bunch riding practice). All were excellent, Mick led near the finish, got stuck
on the front for the penultimate 2 laps – wise? At the finish, I think we were
8th, 9th and 12th, quite a performance as most were senior riders.
We launched the bike donated by Ron from the Woolwich. Alex rode
it with distinction, I think the bike may be programmed on to its own line, any
computer experts about? Well done kids, I’m proud of you all, you held
the club’s name up well! Terry.
