15th June: Strong winds and the threat of rain reduced the numbers especially in the senior categories at the latest round of the weather hit Welwyn Track League
 |
Peter Waghorn writes – The tough conditions and a head wind in the finishing straight saw a number of riders drop out once they lost contact with the field. Mike Broadwith seemed to revel in the conditions and was a repeated attacker in the Senior A group culminating in a lone break in the final 5 mile scratch race after 3 laps followed by a time trial to the finish
The youth riders had some good battles – Cameron Gutteridge and Mitchell Powell dominated the Youth B sector while the Welwyn Wheelers Alexi Edwards, Tom Durkin and Millie Gage each scored victories in the CDE group
Very difficult track racing conditions for everyone – we live in hope of better weather
