Gabriel Cullaigh (RST Racing Team) notched up another win in the Barkstone Circuit Race League event in Lincolnshire on Saturday. Cullaigh beat team mate Joey Walker into 2nd place in the Under 16 Boys race.
Another rider in top form is former Holme Valley Wheeler Jack Ford (Wakefield Junior Tri Club) who won the Under 12 Boys race & is looking like the rider to beat in 2012.
Amira Mellor (Holme Valley Wheelers) was an impressive 6th in the Youth race at the National Mountain Bike Series event at Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire on Sunday. Mellor, who is on British Cycling's Talent Team, was making the technical sections of the course look easy despite the extremely slippery conditions. The race was won by Lucy Grant (Peebles CC) who completed 2 laps in 56min 45sec.
Riding his first ever Mountain Bike event Harry Hardcastle (Kirklees Cycling Academy) showed great potential in finishing 10th in the Juvenile Boys race, won by Daniel Tulett (Hargroves Cycles).
Gareth Owen (Team Swift) made a brave breakaway attempt in the Hull Thursday Road Race at North Newbald on Sunday. The race was extremely tough for the 66 starters with a long steep hill every lap, some sharp showers & grit strewn roads which caused many punctures.
Owen jumped clear of the bunch on the first lap with Stephen Coates (We Love Mountains RT) & stayed away till the last lap when they were caught by what what was left of the main bunch, just 9 riders. James Allen (Sheffrec CC) took the win, Owen just missed out on a top ten finish but did claim 4 primes during the race. Ivan Boyes (Huddersfield Star Wheelers) was heading for 17th place but punctured on the last lap, only 22 riders made it to the chequered flag.
