Newcastle Track Cycling Association celebrated a successful year at their Prize Presentation evening which took place at St John Fisher High School last Friday.
A large crowd assembled at the venue where part of the evening included a programme of roller racing for the under 16’s with some very spirited riding by all with some very close finishes. There then followed the awarding of this year’s trophies and medals. This year has been the best year at the league ever with 108 riders registered for the main competition and an amazing 64 riders in the youth freewheelers league.
The Association has also organised two open meetings this year which included the National Tandem Championship and rounds of the National Youth Omnium, Sprinters League and Endurance League. Next Season the league starts on Thursday 26th April running through on every Thursday evening for a further 20 weeks in to September. The Freewheelers events will start next year at 6.10pm in order to give the riders the chance to compete in four event each. The main league will start as usual at 7.20pm.
The Association will also be promoting the two open meetings next year and also the national Youth Omnium final is also scheduled to take place at the Lyme Valley venue.
Thank You to everyone who competed, officiated and supported the league this year and let’s hope that 2012 year will be even more successful. There is also a special thank to the leagues sponsors in Tony Brooks of Brooks Cycles for the main league, Lyme Rc for the Freewheelers league and to Neil Potter for the 500m Handicap competition.
