Hill climb challenge

Apologies for the delay in posting these – on Wednesday 15th July our young riders took on the slopes of Church Lane, Greasley! The climb, approximately 500m, was the first challenge for many of our young riders … and they were brilliant … though some of them probably enjoyed the down hill freewheel a little more!

Second day of a tough weekend – 26th April – for Joshua Giddings with the Derby Youth Omnium – the first real cycling event in the new Derby Arena – it was hot indoors and a very hard race.

We got to Derby early the first event was a 500m time trial I found this hard to keep on the black line but was fastest rider Event 2 was the elimination race I nearly got caught out when down to five riders but sprinted past Ben Chilton to put him out then got 2nd to a Halesowen rider Event 3 was a scratch race I was ok and got 2nd again to the same rider which meant he was now leading Event 4 was a Kieran race I loved this as they used the derny I got first draw and was sat behind the derny it pulled off with 1.1/2 laps to go and I went for it too win the Halesowen rider got 4th so I was in the lead by two points for the last race Event 5 was a points race with three sprints I was very tired and didn’t score in the first sprint but didn’t want to loose and won the next and second in the final one to get second in this race and win the overall omnium by one point.

CONGRATULATIONS JOSH!!

Results – Josh Giddings – Darley Moor 4 circuit race

On 24th April, Joshua Giddings rode the Ashfield Road Club Darley Moor 4 circuit race – taking another fine win in the U12s race.

Conditions were cold and windy and we got rained on for a few laps. A good field rolled away from the start, within one lap five of us broke away after constant attacks by the Bourne Wheelers rider we were down to four with on of my team mates Jack Brough, coming up the drag to the finish the Lichfield rider jumped first Jack responded and through the chicane we were side by side blocking the others and I sprinted hard for the win with a Jack 2nd so a Heanor 1 2 in the race I was very pleased for Jack!
