Again some very strong performances last weekend at Rd 4 of the East Kent League, on a splendid course that rivalled the Leeds Castle course for originality and sheer beastliness. In the youth's, Little Joe a winner, Milo chalking up his best result of the season with a 2nd place meanwhile in the Juniors Ed pulled in a win and Titouan on a flying visit from the sun drenched mountains of Southern France followed with a second.
Commiserations to Luke and Cubaidh, both started well but were let down by mechanicals of other stuff - bravo the lot of you - twas truly a tough but brilliant course to ride even if the Juniors and Seniors you couldn’t see further than the front of your nose in the fog .
Rides and Races over Christmas
Christmas Eve
There will be no organised Youth or Junior rides this Saturday, that said I’m sure there will be a few who will allowed out by their significant partners doing the DP Saturday Ride.
Tuesday 27th December - Beckenham Place Park
This is a new race - run by part of the Beastway Gang and should be well attended by those bored of the festivities - Google it for details. Enter on the BC website or on the line.
Wednesday 28th December - CX training at the Velodrome
Evening CX training suitable all Juniors and strong youths - decent lights are mandatory. Meet at the picnic tables at 7pm.
Road bikes on track - it’s an ‘Advanced’ session lead by Paul Mills - thus only suitable for the strongest Juniors.
Saturday 31st December - Junior Road Ride
I expect that we will be leading a road ride for strong youths and Juniors - meet at the velodrome at 9 am usual pack drill.
1st January - New Year Madison XC at Herne Hill www.hernehillvelodrome.com/nycx/
For those over 18 - the ultimate hangover cure, for others - just serious good fun and not so serious racing, you need to enter as pairs and take it from there. If you can’t find a racing pal - just turn up anyway - you will get a race and have a lot of fun.
That’s about the level of it other than to wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
