Go Ride Racing - Saturday November 8th

Well done to all twenty six riders who took part in our Go Ride Racing event at the weekend. We kicked off with an individual TT, 1 lap of the course and followed it up with a mass start race of 5, 3 and 1 lap for the U16/14's, U12/10's and U8's.  Course conditions were tricky in places particularly as the ground got stickier and stickier.

Following a short break we moved onto a new race for us; The Marymoor Crawl.  We ran this on the playground, it starts of with a track stand style start of indeterminate length.  When the whistle goes riders have a short sprint to the finish line.  Riders had the chance to practise this new event before we ran five heats based on age/experience.  Thanks to Damian for introducing this new race which everyone agreed was great fun.

We finished off with a team relay on the course, there were plenty of enthusiastic cheering from team managers Malcolm and Katy but nothing compared to Michele :-)  KVK pom poms are definitely a must for our next event.

Medals were awarded for the top three riders in each category for the combined results from the TT and the mass start race.  The five heat winners from the Marymoor Crawl all received prizes and the team relay winners got first choice from the sweetie bag.

Thanks to all the riders, volunteers and parents who contributed our Go Ride Racing event we hope to see you all again soon.
