Lewis, Chris & Matt were down south at the weekend riding the Bath Road Club National Junior Series RR in Buckinghamshire. A quality field made for a hard race right from the start and straight away a small group got off the front and Chris was up there in the leading group at the end of the first lap. It was all change a lap later with Matt being in the front group, Lewis chasing with a few others and Chris back in the bunch. Read more ...

Jerrod was over in York with his boys to take part in the Crits supporting the Nat Crit Series event. Both boys were top 3 I think, with Dad in the support event. The race was made up of lots of little attacks, Jerrod in one or two, but none seemed to have the needed impetus. A bunch sprint was the order of the day, Jerrid was well placed, but another rider collided with him, but he still came 4th!

A trip to near Scotland was the order of the day, the weather was not great and would make for a hard race. The 3/4 set off with Luke and Grant for the team. The race mainly stayed together but Luke fell victim to a puncture, Grant was active but got boxed in the sprint, and made the top 20. In the Elites race the man to watch was Richard Handley, he was marked from the start, and a small group formed eventually behind him. James had just been up the road, and so missed this one, as did Andy. Read more ...

Julian and Nev rode the open track meeting run by the Track League on Friday evening 23rd July.

With a good sized entry the field was split into 'A' and 'B' groups, as well as separate Youth and Ladies racing, giving Nev the chance to ride in the 'B' group against other vets. Read more ...

James set a team '10' record today with a scorching 19.47 on the V718 course in Yorkshire. A great ride for James in what is proving to be a great year, welldone from us all

Conditions were atrocious for week 15 of Salt Ayre League but despite the flooding in Lancashire and Cumbria, racing went on in Lancaster.

Returning from Dubai, via some racing in Belgium, Jamie Shirlaw was riding his first event in Britain this year and attacked from the start taking Andrew Pickering with him and staying away.

With these riders teams blocking Julian tried to bridge the gap alone and almost made it but it was too big an ask for a lone rider. Steve and Julian then made sure they were either in every move or kept them to a distance they could close. Read more ...

Luke continued his his good run of results getting 7th and 1st junior at the GT Ellingworth race down at Grantham, Nottingham.The course was the Witham Wheelers road circuit, a 12.5 mile loop in the countryside around Grantham.
On the first lap, the race was neutralised after a series of crashes,luke punctured avoiding the second crash and was supported by Baden and Dawn with a spare wheel.
He then stayed in the bunch, a group of 6 got away on the last lap. Luke with another rider attacked from the bunch and stayed away not able to bridge the gap to the lead group. Read more ...

The team was undertaking it's first proper outing at a Premier. Steve, Dafydd, James and Andy were riding with Roger, Stacey and Martin in support. The day started with a near miss, we slightly misjudged a low height barrier, which resulted in a close scrape for the bikes! Then the prep started. James's Dad and Mum helped at the feed, and Martin, Stacey and Roger manned the car. The race started quickly, and Dafydd with Steve helped keep the duo of James and Andy in the front for the main circuit. Read more ...

Another night at Preston saw Jerrod ride his first race for the team, in which he was competing in the 3/4 race, having a few moves to try and get off the front. He was in contention for the gallop at the finish, and was rewarded with a great 4th place. Andy was in action again after Colne, and along with Matthew and Steve, making a first appearance at Preston due to work commitments on most Thursdays. They were all involved in competing in a brisk race. Read more ...

Luke rode the support event at Colne and continued his improving form to be involved from the start. The race was mainly a succession of attacking moves, Luke was in a few, then was in the final sprint, but was blocked and got an excellent 7th. In the main event James and Andy rode for a warm up for the weekends Premier Calendar at Beverley. The race was hard and fast, both Riders were in the mix all race and finished comfortably in the bunch, gaining valuable experience.
