The sun was shining, the grass was cut, the crowds were out, people were smiling and laughing in the park - no it wasn't another royal wedding it was the first grass track of this year's YHPSCL. One hundred and two riders representing ten different schools got to grips with the CCH track bikes at Hackney Downs - many for their first time on a fixed wheel bike.
To make sure the riders understood what riding a track bike entails there were practise sessions before the racing began - main point to remember - don't stop pedalling!
With the large turn out the program became a sprint orientated afternoon with riders taking part in
Keirin heats of six or seven riders. The winners of each heat then would advance to a
match sprint final.
The year 4 boys and girls had there heats first - the races were for three laps with Kai leading them round as the derny for the first lap and a half.
