Spalding CC grass track racing

edited July 2014 in Youth
From Shane Norton, organiser of the Spalding CC grass track event this Saturday (19th August):-

I can't be there myself this year but it's well worth the journey. Good racing, especially against Spalding's own kids as they have a thriving youth section like ours. There's Go-Ride racing for freewheelers as well as the usual fixed-wheel events. Excellent refreshments too, as I remember.

Comments

  • Shane, the organiser of Saturday's Spalding CC grass track event, also runs an engineering company and he has been developing rollers specifically for youth riders and their small bikes. If you're going to the event, could you bring a demo set back for me to test for Youth Cycle Sport please?

    Thanks,
