Saturday 5th October - Cycling Nuts at Cyclopark

Hope, Ellen, Georgia, Toni, Luke, Polly and Sophie all arrived at Cyclopark ready for action.  For Georgia, Luke and Sophie it was there first proper race.  Nine clubs competed for prizes and points in a complicated system that managed to reward performance and sheer numbers of riders from each club. As ever all our riders performed well, no crashes, no tears, and a place on the podium for Hope in the U8's (1st place again).

Full results have yet to be published but a quick tally of riders and positions place Kent Velo Kids fifth out of the nine clubs competing - AMAZING, WELL DONE KVK. 

A real treat was in store after the youth races, a Cat 4 men's race and a Cat3/4 women's race.  Myself, Linda and Damian all took part, Bee was officiating.  It was amazing to be racing with the kids cheering us on for a change. We managed to almost match the kids, no crashes, no tears and one podium place for Linda (3rd), but we certainly didn't drink as many milkshakes as them.
