Spring at the Park Racing at Cyclopark 7th June

Three riders were able to make it to the second of our planned trips to Cyclopark for the Spring in the Park race series.  In the U12's Polly and Toni didn't get off to a good start but recovered well.  A smallish field of thirteen riders, meant less opportunities to ride in the bunch, but both girls worked with other riders in the early part of the race and ended up working together for the last couple of laps.  They ended sprinting for the line together, where Toni took the lead to take 2nd Girl and 8th overall, Polly was just behind, 3rd Girl, 9th overall.  Congratulations, another podium finish for the KVK.


A strong start from Tom
Moving onto the U14's and Tom's race.  Once again it was a smallish field and a few small groups quickly established themselves and worked together.  With a headwind on the climb to the finish it was essential to ride co-operatively with other riders.  Tom did this really well and ended in a sprint for the line with his race partner which he took comfortably and ended with a smile on his face.  Well done Tom, excellent riding, 6th overall.

Results:
U12's Toni 2nd Girl (8th overall), Polly 3rd Girl (9th overall)
U14's Tom 6th

We plan to go to at least one more of these races.  Thanks to parents and supporters who came along to cheer our riders on.

Luke came along to support his sister :-)
