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 ...

All the juniors went down for a fast and furious crit in the midlands, on a baking hot day. The race was slightly marred by a false start which caught out a few riders including a few of ours. The race was very quick and too hot for a lot if the field. Lewis was still a bit tender from his off the week before, however Chris
was an excellent 9th with Lewis just behind, and Jack, Julian and Luke completing the race.

Chris, Luke and Martin attended the second crit at Tameside, on another sunny evening, Martin was hoping for a split race, which it was but the E/1/2 behind, so a catch was due sometime! Also a certain Ben Swift turned up for a leg stretch! The 3/4 race was a fast start, but Martin, and Especially Luke were up in the moves early on. The Elites caught after approx 35mins, and the race got significantly quicker! Read more ...

The new circuit at Tameside held its first race last night, with Chris, Luke, Lewis and Martin making the trip. The race was originally planned as two seperate races, but was set of as a handicap. Martin was a little worried about this as it meant the possibility of racing with all the E/1/2 cats! as well as Juniors and Youth A riders. The 3/4/J race was very quick from the gun, with Luke right at the front, the race split early and Martin had to bridge across to stay in. The E/1/2 race was also fast, with Chris in a early move, only to suffer a crash just after. Read more ...

Steve, Chris and James took on a quality field including a few Elites in the Morecambe 2 day stage race. The prologue was a short event, James hoping to do well, however he was stopped by a van! this meant a delay but he was still 16th. The second stage went a lot better, with a small group away, James waited then rode to the group. He settled in then managed to chip off the front to win alone with a small gap. This moved him uo to 5th overall! Chris finished 12th, and Steve safely in the bunch. Read more ...

The midweek handicap race saw a good field, and had almost a shock result. The fourth cats put up a valiant effort to stay away, the third cats never caught them, and the E/1/2 group only caught them on the final straight to the sprint! The efforts from Matt, and James to get away meant they led Lewis out with Chris behind and we got a great 2nd and 3rd. Special mention for Grant for his efforts in the 4th Cat group.

Lazonby was the venue for this years Regional champs, a challenging course, combined with a hot day. The juniors contained the whole team, with a few of the team in the 3/4 event and Andy Coupe and James the main focus of the Elite event. The Junior race was hard with many breaks going, the main break went and unfortunately we missed it, however Julian put in a huge effort to bridge for Lewis before a well deserved rest. The break joined up with a group from the 3/4 race, and gained more time. Read more ...
