The penultimate round of the Yorkshire Points Cyclo-Cross Series took place at a frozen Thornes Park, Wakefield on Sunday. Once again the Under 12 riders from Huddersfield were in good form. In the Under 8s race, Hannah Whitworth (Huddersfield RC) was first Girl, Dylan Boyes (Huddersfield Star Wheelers) was 4th Boy & the winner was Nathan Fortune (Pedalsport CC). Ava Oxley riding for the promoting club, Wakefield Tri Club, was the winner in the Under 10s, Adam Fortune (Kirklees Cycling Academy) was first Boy & club mate Henry Hollyman was 2nd. Holme Valley Wheeler Tom Ford was 3rd Boy.
The Under 12s race was a ding dong battle between Matt Taylor & Jenson Young with only 1 second in it at the finish line, Taylor got the win & his best result of the season. Not far behind the Pedalsport CC duo was Mason Hollyman (Kirklees Cycling Academy) in 3rd with Holme Valley riders Jim Brown & Jack Ford in 4th & 5th.
Matt Taylor's Dad Chris Taylor (Pedalsport CC) was in fine form in the Veterans race leading from start to finish from club mate Mike Young in second. Holme Valley Wheeler John Hick had a great result in 4th place despite crashing on a slippery banking. Hick's club mate Steve Rimmer finished in 20th closely followed by Tim Beachill (Huddersfield RC) in 21st, Graham Piccavey (Huddersfield Star Wheelers) was 28th.
Last race of the day was the Senior & Juniors which was won by Rob Watson (Paul Milnes RT), Noel Clough (Wheelbase) was only 10 seconds back in 2nd & Jack Clarkson (Hope Factory Racing) in 3rd a further 17 seconds adrift. Holme Valley Wheeler Lee Brown was 23rd.
Abby Mae Parkinson (RST Racing Team-Trigon) & Amira Mellor (Holme Valley Wheelers) spent the weekend in Belgium as part of a team of youngsters funded by the Yorkshire Cyclo-Cross Association, the Keith Edwards Cyclo-Cross Trust & the Dave Rayner Fund. Cyclo-Cross is massive in Belgium so it was a great experience for all the riders. In an extremely muddy race at Lichtervelde, about 30km south of Brugesk, Parkinson was 2nd & Mellor 4th
