Lee Valley Youth CC Winter Series 25th Feb 2012

Elliot, Rueben, Frank, Logan, Theo, Louis, Bede, Sam and Isaac (out of picture) line up for the U12 race.

 CCH had a strong presence at the second Hog Hill youth race of the season with 18 riders competing across the age groups. There was lots of anticipation for this event after Winter training and everyone was raring to go. One contingent set off to go by bike and train, but were turned away from the station at Leyton with no trains running! Harry's iPhone and some determined riding got them there in time to race. It was probably the longest 'warm-up' of the day, but both youth riders (Kai and Sam) rode great races afterwards.

There were some spirited performances on the track from all who raced. It was inspiring to see so many CCH riders working together and improving their performance from last year. Special mention for Logan who came 3rd in his class in a very competitive race.

It's all looking good for this year - bring it on...
