11/11/22
An auspicious date welcomed the riders of the Young Hackney Primary Schools Cycling League to Hackney Downs for round 2 of this years season. The rain had battered down all week beforehand but Friday saw the sun come out making for ideal conditions on the grass course which featured many tight turns and and a tricky descent then ascent. A challenging course for newcomers to the world of cyclocross but the riders rose to the challenge and produced a series of excellent races.

The year five girls raced first tasking on three laps of the course. It was a closely fought affair between the front runners but by the last lap Klara of Millfields had put in a hard effort to distance the rest. Flossie from William Patten finished din second place with CCH rider Peppa coming third for Rushmore.
