There were thrills & spills for the Huddersfield riders in the National Trophy Cyclo Cross at the Moorways Centre in Derby on Sunday.
Abby Mae Parkinson (RST Racing Team-Trigon) took her first ever Cyclo Cross victory in the Under 16 Girls race, leading from start to finish. Holme Valley Wheeler's Amira Mellor was 7th & now lies 3rd in the overall standings with Parkinson moving up to 6th place.
Louise Robinson continued her highly successful comeback by winning the Womens race by just 12 seconds from Hannah Payton (Kinesis Morvelo Project) in 2nd & Robinson's Stourbridge CC club mate Isla Rowntree 28 seconds back in 3rd place.
Jake Womersley (Aire Valley RT) was having one of his best rides of the 2011 season but tangled with Adam Martin (Cestria Cycles RT) on the last lap, both riders crashed & Womersley finished the race in 12th place. Hugo Robinson (X RT/Elmy Cycles) took the victory.
Another rider having no luck was former Holme Valley Wheeler Richard Binks (Clay Cross RT) who crashed out of the Veterans race.
The penultimate round of the National Trophy takes place at Peel Park, Bradford on Sunday 11th December.
Holme Valley Wheelers Jack Ford & Jim Brown were 1st & 2nd in the Under 12s race at the Sheffield Stars Cyclo Cross event on Sunday, Alex Bailey (Huddersfield Star Wheelers) was fastest Under 8. Joe Williams (Holme Valley Wheelers) was 5th the Youth race, won by Levi Moody (Pedalsport CC).
Former Holme Valley riders Gabriel Cullaigh (RST Racing Team-Trigon) & Leon Gledhill (Planet X) had a good night at the Premier Division Track League last Tuesday night at Manchester Velodrome. Cullaigh's best result was 2nd in the 50 lap Points race & Gledhill was 3rd in the Devil race.
Cullaigh's team mate Josh Cutler, who took up cycling relatively recently through Kirklees Cycling Academy, won 2 races at the First Division Track League on Friday night. Cutler, racing in Group 3, won the Points & Unknown Distance races & has been promoted to Group 4 for this week's event.
