Remember if your racing, bring you licence!

OK now to Wednesday night’s training, there were 10 riders for the early session and 5 LACC riders.
Tom Stilwell, riding with the group and Sam, Sarah, Jono and Georgia on the warm up with Lizanne.

We started with a Motor Pace, led by Caitlin for 10 laps at around 25kph.
Next Scratch races, first race U9 &11 for 2 laps. Juliette crossing the line first followed by Christian and Genevieve, Georgia and Louis.
Second race, U13’s for 2 laps, Oliver led for 1 ½ lap but ran out of steam, Claude finished first, then Lawrence, Will, Xavier, Oliver and Tom S.

Next, Pursuit Chase, 2 groups working together to either catch the other group or stay away from the chasing group, each group as fast as the slowest rider.
This worked well and it took 6 laps for the faster group to pass the slower group. Everyone working well together with great communication between the riders.

In between racing and the Pursuit chase, Sam, Sarah, Jono and Georgia got out and ventured around the main track including up and down the banking.

We finish the session with a shoe race which was won by Claude

The second session was similar format with 16 riders, starting with the warm up Paceline, Redline group, 30 laps and Black line group 20 laps.
Next Scratch races, first U13’s for 3 laps. With Louie and Luka relegated to the rollers for not holding their line during the Paceline the field was only 3, Adrien, Darani and Luke.
The racing was close in the first 2 laps and each vied for position, not being on the front. Adrien then pulled away to win, follow by Luke and Darani.
Second Race, the U15’s for 6 laps, with 4 boys and 2 girls. The boys pulled away quickly splitting the girls off the back in the first couple of laps. Taku to a turn and was ½ a lap in front and blow up. The others court him and the boys pack was together again. The final lap and Taku again pulled away to win, Rohan and Francis vying for Second with Francis just getting home ahead, followed by Max, the Rosie and Caitlin.
Last Scratch race U17’s for 8 laps. From the get go Linus pulled away and left a big gap for the others to close. The other worked together for a few laps but couldn’t close the gap so Zanzi took off to chase Linus down. Linus crossed first, Zanzi second then Sarah, Jake and Liam.

While the U17s rested, the others tried the hand at a Pursuit chase with Taku, Francis and Rohan chasing everyone else. Doing ½ laps turns on the front, once they had settled down it took 8 laps to overtake the other group. Again everyone worked well and communicated in each group.

After a short rest another shoe race, this was won by Adrien

Both were good sessions which to me ran well and on time. I hope everyone enjoyed their time on the track.
