All the action from the Lea Valley Circuit races


8/12/17 A sunny but bitterly cold afternoon in early December over at the Velopark greeted the 86 brave riders from different schools who turned to race in round three of this years YHPSCL.


In order to keep everyone moving and get them used to the circuit we moved straight into coaching sessions with the riders working with CCH coaches on their cornering and gearing techniques. Some of them also worked on aerodynamics and learnt how to stay low on the bike which was vital coming into the home straight and the strong headwind that worked against them.


First to race were the year 4 girls setting the format for all the races with  a three lap mass start circuit race. Charlie and Grace from Jubilee along with merle from gayhurst soon established a lead and held on to take the podium spots. Results below Roderick's excellent photos.
