The 5th round of the Yorkshire Points Winter Cyclo Cross series, promoted by Condor Road Club, took place at Wellholme Park, Brighouse on Sunday. Race organiser John Ginley had managed to create an extremely tough course with steep climbs & technical descents.
Luca Longo (Huddersfield Star Wheelers) had his first ever win in the Under 8s race chased all the way by club mate Alex Bailey, Lucy Sears (Sowerby Bros RT) won the Under 8 Girls race. Holme Valley Wheeler Tom Ford was 2nd in the Under 10s race, 17 seconds behind George Southby (East Bradford CC). Jenson Young (Pedalsport CC) continued his winning streak in the Under 12s, Mason Hollyman (Kirklees Cycling Academy) was 3rd & Jack Ford (Holme Valley Wheelers) 4th.
It was a battle of the Young brothers in the Veterans race with Chris (Wheelbase) & Mike (Pedalsport CC) leading the way. Chris had the advantage by being the only rider capable of riding the steepest hill but Mike was stronger on the descents. The Judges couldn't seperate them as they crossed the line to finish joint first place. Best out of the local riders was former Holme Valley Wheeler Richard Binks (Clay Cross RT) in 4th place. Graham Piccavey (Huddersfield Star Wheelers) had a strong result in 21st out of 86 competitors.
David Beachill (Huddersfield RC) was 26th in the Seniors race won by Joe Moses (Paul Milnes RT) by over a minute and a half from Dieter Droger (Team CF).
Holme Valley Wheeler Lee Brown had a successful evening's racing at Manchester Velodrome in the Friday Night Track League last week. Riding in Group 4, Brown won the 1km & 20 lap Scratch races. Hartshead youngster Abby Mae Parkinson (RST Racing Team) won the Points, Unknown Distance & 1km Scratch race in Group 1.
