Welwyn Youth Omnium
Welwyn Youth Omnium takes place on Saturday 17th May. I suggest as many of our youth riders enter as possible.
https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/101613/Welwyn-Youth-Omnium#entry
This is one of the few opportunities in the year for our youth riders to ride a full range of track races (e.g. points race, time trial, scratch, sprint, elimination race) rather than just handicaps at the track league. Unless recent entrants aren't appearing on the website yet, we only have one rider entered from the entire club - Sophie L in the U12s.
Anyone who has ridden the Lee Valley Velo Park or Welwyn track cluster sessions (or Welwyn track league last year) already has the track skills required. It's great experience for a young rider.
Closing date is tomorrow, and there are no entries on the day, so if you've been thinking about entering now is the time to hit the button.
Any queries, just whisper or email me.

Im sure either Sophie, Gareth or Holly (or their one of their parents) will update with further details & photos (Gareths mum was seen taking some snaps?) Adam was really chuffed with his result, I think only missing out on 4th by a point or 2. I think Sophie was really unlucky to miss out on 3rd overall in the last race. Overall I was really impressed by the skill and track discipline all our riders displayed, I think all those track cluster sessions theyve have attended over previous months gave them the confidence when riding in big bunches. Well done all!

Speaking of which:-
