12/06/2014 - Scorcher at Track League

The hot sunny weather saw the biggest attendance this year at the Brook Cycles Track, League on the 12^th June 2014. Over 60 riders rode the main league and along with the Freewheelers league the total was nearly 90 riders competed in a full race programme.   

The highlight of the night was the Neil Potter Sponsored 500m Handicap League where there was a mass dash for the line with all the riders crossing the line in a tight pack. Handicapper Tony Mayer is clearly doing a fine job however the judges eyes are getting severely tested each week to place the top six. This weeks winner was long marker Rhian Putt ( Swinerton Cycles) who took her first win at the league in fine style.

Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles ) won the Sprint final in a time of 11.6 seconds from Tom Rotherham ( Sportcity Velo). The other sprint event saw Debbie Capewell ( Brooks Cycles) Max Gethin ( Lyme RC) and Sean Mayer take the team sprint.

The A Class endurance was very competitive this week with 15 riders competing. Jacob Booth ( Weaver Valley CC) re took the overall lead as he won the 10 lap scratch and the points. Alex Simmons ( Swinnerton Cycles) won the devil and Tom Rotherham won the 10 mile scratch.

The B Class events saw Phil Kirkpatrick ( Mercian CC) win the 8 lap scratch, points and the 10 mile. Tom Haines ( Leicestershire RC) making his debut at the league won the devil.

The Youth events saw a good spread of winners with George Hancock ( Lyme RC ) winning the block handicap, Alistair Kennington ( Lyme RC ) taking the devil, James Nolan ( Eastlands Velo )  the 600m handicap and Caleb Hill the 6 lap scratch.

The Freewheelers League saw a good turnout of riders with some very close racing. The top point’s scorers in each group were

Group 1                Bradley Heath                                   Lyme RC               8 Points

Group 2                Zak Edwards                                       Lyme RC               9 points
