Circuit Racing at Lea Valley Velopark

1/3/19

Year 5 girls line up for their race

Rescheduled from before half term the first circuit race of this season took place on a much less windy day than it was meant to have thankfully. Seventy five riders from seven schools attended.

First to race were the year 5 girls - all the races were for four laps of the circuit minus the ox-bow loop. Charlie from Jubilee sped off on lap 1 and never looked in trouble for the victory. Much closer was the race for second with Lilah from Millfields prevailing over Poppy from Jubilee.

 The year five boys raced next with the trio from Millfields using proper teamwork to get one another around - eventually though Harris had push on as Brandon from Jubilee looked set to spoil their party. Harris took the win comfortably with Brandon following then Elliot from Millfields in third.
