| Year 5 girls race start |
Friday didn't start off too promising as the sky grew increasingly heavy whilst we were setting up the course and as the riders began to turn up the heavens opened up to make the Hackney Downs course nice and slippy for them. Fortunately by the time we were ready to race to the sun came out - not exactly drying the course up but at least shining a light all the way round it.
Sixty riders from six schools were competing and the year 5 girls started off the racing with 4 laps of a technical course with many twists and turns, off cambers and a set of hurdles to get over.

The year 5 boys were next up -

- and number 19 seemed to be the lucky number of the day as again it was the winners number. This time it was worn by Harris from Millfields who pulled away from the bunch on lap 2 and had enough time to crash then get back up and win. Logan from Millfields pipped Brandon from jubilee for the other podium spots.

The year 6 girls were given 5 laps to do amid a bit of grumbling about the distance with the top eight finishers completing all five in under 15 minutes and the rest doing four laps it was a good workout for them.

In the year 6 boys - again doing five laps - it was a dominant display by the Millfields team looking a bit like the
Belgians at the world champs. Swapping places Nikolas and Jimme battled out with Nikolas eventually taking the win and Joseph coming third. Mohammed from Olive really caught the eye with a well executed
bike change - he looked very pro.
