Circuit Racing at Lea Valley Velopark - part 2

8/3/19

The year 5 boys line up to start.

The second visit to the Lea Valley Velopark in seven days for the YHPSCL and the rain held off again although it was pretty cold and windy as per usual. Six schools came along and fifty seven riders from years 4 and 5 gave it their best shot.

The year fives went first this time seeing as how they'd been here just last week the year 4's could watch them and learn. They could certainly learn from the Millfields boys as once agin they worked well together to distance the rest and take a 123.

So now it was time for the year 4 boys to show their speed over three laps of the circuit. It started off a pretty close race with ten riders in contention after lap 1 - after lap 2 we had a leading five and Max from Gayhurst began to stretch them out and took the win followed by Roscoe from Millfields and William from Jubilee.

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.
