Friday 13th Match 2020 -
Years four and five had a great afternoon out over at the Lea Valley Velopark last Friday taking part in the Young Hackney Primary Schools Cycling League. The day was about circuit racing with the first half all about learning to corner and use gears correctly. The coaches must have got the training part right as I didn't see anyone get off and have to push their bike up the hill next to the velodrome during the races.
After the training the riders had to race 3 laps of the Abercrombie loop in the year 4s and three and half laps for the year 5s.
In the year 4 girls Grazebrook School had the first winner of the day with Margot leading the rest by some distance - Catrin and Rosa from Millfields finished 2nd and 3rd.

The final race of the day - and who knows maybe the final race of this season due to the health crises - was the year 5 boys. Arthur , Finnbar and Sam all Millfields were having their own private battle at the front. Maybe they took the battle bit a touch too literally as Arthur and Finnbar came together on the last time up the hill. Both went down but Arthur was soon back on his bike to still take the win - unfortunately for Finnbar he chain had come off meaning Sam came through for 2nd with William from Jubilee coming third - Finnbar still managed to come back in sixth place.

This leaves the league as above and with the school shut down announced it might be that will be the final placings for the 2019-2020 season. Hopefully we will all stay healthy and be back out on our bikes soon.
