BSCA Hill Climb Results and Thanks
from the Race Organiser
Please find attached the results for the
WSCA Hill Climb. I hope all the riders
"enjoyed" it. If we can manage to run
this again next year at the same
facility we'll allow everyone to do it
twice to make it a bit harder.
Thanks to everyone who helped but I
would like to make a special thanks to
Rachel and Teresa in the kitchen who
gave up the chance to support their own
children to continue to provide teas and
coffee's (especially my bacon roll), and
to Gary who found the location, did much
to set up the course and without whom we
simply would not have had a race.
Don't
forget the Maindy freewheel league
starts 30/3/10, check the Welsh Cycling
website for details, and the next WSCA
event is the circuit race at Llandow on
1/6/10.

URGENT CANCELLED
Maindy (Cardiff) Youth Track
Omnium 20th June 2009
A
number of you
have asked why the Omnium Track Meeting
originally scheduled for 30th May, and
rescheduled for 20th June, has now definitely
been cancelled. The cause has been un-expected
complications arising from the renovation work
being undertaken at Maindy. The organiser, with
the support of the club committee and the centre
manager, have remained positive and done
everything in their power to try and ensure the
event went ahead.
However, when
further problems were highlighted last week and
the hand-over date from the contractors to the
centre manager was delayed further, a decision
was made by representatives of all parties
involved to cancel. This was felt to be the most
appropriate action at this stage, so that riders
and their parents still have the chance to enter
the other Midland area event postponed from
earlier in the season, to 28th June, at
Newcastle-under-lyme, (closing date 13th June).
Welsh Schools Hard Track Championship 21st

Welsh Schools Grass Track
Event in Abergavenny on the same date.
Once new date confirmed for the Welsh Schools

WSCA CIRCUIT RACE
CHAMPIONSHIPS, BRYNBACH PARK, 26TH
APRIL 2009
a short note from Kay
"Well done to
everyone who took part in the Circuit Race
Championships on Sunday. For one of you it was
your first race. For others, it was your first
win at this level. As your coach, not only was I
so proud of you all in the way that you rode,
but also the way you conducted yourselves. Not
only supporting your team mates but encouraging
all the other competitors throughout the races.
The same must be said of the presentation,
clapping and cheering not just for yourselves
but everyone as they were called up to receive
their medals.
So I hope your
parents are proud of you but most importantly
you are proud of yourselves... you deserve to
be!!!!!!!"

MAINDY FLYER JACK
BROADLEY GETS A FIRST IN THE DOWNHILL
661 Mini Downhill
Forest of Dean,
24th
February 2009: Article
by Ric McLaughlin from the April edition
of Mountain Bike UK
Another craze currently
sweeping across
Britain is mini
downhill. Whereas a load of
suit-wearing men
in the city got it wrong, some full-face
wearing men in a forest have been
getting it all kinds of right!
Mini DH offers a simple premise -short
course DH racing for all ages. For
the youngsters it's a great opportunity
to get into the sport and for the wiser
heads it's a chance to test themselves
on a course that requires every single
microsecond
eked out of it.

Bryn Bach races March and
April 2009
T
hese
events are suitable for all youth riders and
would be a great introduction for those who are
new to racing as well as good practice for those
thinking of taking part in the British Cycling
Youth Circuit Race Omniums. It is understood
that the younger age groups (Under 8 and
possibly Under 10) will be using a new course
that should be finished by the start of the
events which is flat and is located near the BMX
course. Everyone else will be using the course
used in the past which you all know and love!
There are also senior races
at the first three events for any parents who
race or feel they might like to give it a try.
The Youth events culminate in the Schools
Circuit Race Championships on 26h April.
