The start of autumn term marks the start of the Hackney Primary Schools CyclingLeague 2014-15 season. We have nine events planned for the League this year with a possible 10th event being inter borough racing with schools from our neighbouring boroughs. This year we plan to put on three of the events at Lea Valley Velopark in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, on the lovely smooth road circuit they have over there.
Two new schools have already expressed an interest in joining the league so welcome to Parkwood Primary School and Sir Thomas Abney Primary School, and I'm sure they will be followed by others soon. Cycling Club hackney and Young Hackney continue to support the league and are currently sourcing some new roller racing equipment that as well as being used for a league event will be taken into schools so they can get a taste of cycle racing.
The events for this season are as follows - please note new day being Thursday and dates and times provisional in the case of events at LVV -
Thursday 16th October - Hill Climb Springfield Park 12.30-3pm Years - 4/5/6.
Thursday 13th November - Circuit Race Lea Valley Velopark times -tbc Y5/6.

ReplyDeleteI teach at Princess May Primary and we'd be interested in joining the league this season if it is running. I'd also like to get some advice on buying a pool of bikes for the children to use for training and race meets. I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.
Biking is supposed to be great exercise. It helps an individual stay fit for a long period of time.Bike racks play a very important role in the lives of bikers.
