| Year 5 girls racing at the Velopark. |
Mid january normally sees the League indoors or rained/snowed off - so it was a great relief that the second outing to the Lea Valley Velopark circuit saw us all bathed in winter sunshine. Sixty five riders from seven schools took part in four races with impressive sized fields in the year 5 girls and boys races. Of course it wouldn't be circuit racing without a headwind and unfortunately for the riders it reared its head on the longest straight towards the finish line.
First up were the year 5 girls which was closely fought out between Anoushka, Kezia and Esther from Millfields Gayhurst and Jubilee respectively.

the year six boys followed with Tom and Stanley from Gayhurst trying to stretch Mack from Jubilee. This strong trio distanced the the other 13 riders however the Gayhurst's boys tactics failed to work and mack outpowered them to gain the win.

This all means the league positions are pretty close with Gayhurst leading with a mere 16 points from kingsmead and Jubilee who are tied together in 2nd place with Millfields bringing up a strong fourth. things are shaping up nicely for the next race again at the velopark this time it'll be the year 4's aand 5s turn to shine.
