Round 8 - the penultimate event of the Young Hackney Primary Schools Cycling League continued in grass track mode up on the ever sunny Hackney Downs. A large turnout of riders from eight schools meant the riders were on their own geared bikes again.
Each group had three races to compete in as way of a mini omnium. The races were a scratch race - 3 laps all start together, a handicap sprint race - 1 lap starting positions based on previous race and an elimination race.
The year 5 girls raced first with the scratch race results being Billie from Millfields first Annie from Jubilee for second place and third was Sonja also Jubilee .
The year 5 boys raced next with the scratch race results being Ralph from Gayhurst first, Jacob of Millfields for second place and Leo of Rushmore third.
Next were the year 6 girls scratch race results being first for Catrin from Millields, Zhane also Millfields second place and third was Isobel from Jubilee.
Then came the year 6 boys raced next with the scratch race results being Dijle form Jubilee first, Victor for second place and Dashiell third - both from Millfields.
Next were the handicap sprints with last placed riders from the scratch races setting off a quarter of a lap in front of the winners these races make the judges work even harder as in theory they all should cross the finish line at the same time.
The year 5 girls handicap race results were Aine of Millfields first, Samiha of Orchard for second place and Maariyha of Millfields third.
The year 5 boys handicap race results were Ashley from Orchard first, Fortune second place and third was Luca - both of Gayhurst.
The year 6 girls handicap race results were Sidem from Jubilee first, Kirah for Orchard second place and Natalia - Southwold third.
The year 6 boys handicap race results were Traevon from Jubilee first, Kaleb second place - Gayhurst and third was Tristan - William Patten.
The final set of races were the much loved elimination races - with such large numbers in each race it was decided three riders would be eliminated each lap and any riders not with the bunch would also be eliminated.
