Action from round 3 in December |
2021-22 has not been the worst of winters (so far) - it has been chilly and wet but despite the Ohmy.. variant the YHPSCL keeps on cycling on. Staggering the races throughout the day at Forest Road Youth Hub meant we could use the roller racing rigs and keep everyone safe by keeping the numbers in the building down at any one time. This didn't mean low numbers of riders though - we had 10 schools and and 103 riders in December for the years 4 and 5 races, and last week we had 9 schools and 98 riders. It was a shame for those schools that had to miss the events due to Covid but those who did make it made up for the others absences by shouting the roof off as usual. (Note to self - ear defenders should be part of the set up next year.)
The year four girls posted impressive times in their 250m race with Klara from Millfields getting the win at 15 seconds - a faster time than the fastest year 4 boy Leo also from Millfields.

Hoxton Gardens Millfields and Southwold riders in action on January 14th |
For the years 5 and 6 races in January we doubled the distance to 500m - or two laps of the velodrome. Still a sprint but it's harder to maintain a full on effort over that distance - ask any track rider.
