CCH Primavera Circuit Race 1 - report

Youth D / E racing getting underway

 Saturday 28th March was the date of the first of three circuit races that the club is putting on at the Lea Valley Velopark this season. The CCHackney Primavera 1 races were well attended with 225 riders taking part across all categories from Youth under 8 - senior men and women.

 With so many races to run and riders to marshal it was vital that club members attended to lend a hand with the organising and step up they did. A list of all volunteers is included below thanks to you all - I know it is a requirement of being in CCH that all members volunteer at least once a year at our events but now we are organising many more I hope to see lots more of our senior and youth members lend a hand. We will be back there for the next race on the 25th April at 8am - so see you all again then.

 The racing got underway at 9.15 with the Under 10s and Under8s tackling the eastern loop of the LVV circuit. This made for a short circuit with tight racing but pretty soon riders were spread all around the loop and with  four separate races in effect taking place at once (male /female D E) this proved shall we say problematical for the lap scorers in the judges box.  However results were produced - see below.

William in the Youth C race

 Following this we had the Youth C race on the same part of the circuit and again it proved difficult for the judging with the riders coming round so quickly. Your Organiser and Commissaire have got together and next time round all the Youth will use the full circuit.

 The Youth A and B race came next - this time using the whole circuit and as per usual the pace was fast and furious. The large fields saw riders from as far afield as Edinburgh turn up with a more local rider - Dougal Toms lighting up the racing and taking a good win.

 The senior races followed this with category 3 4 riders up first riding the opposite way round the circuit coming at the finish line from the west. CCH had representatives in all races bar the E 1 2 and three of them picked up points in the top ten of the 3 4 race -
