Roach Cruises to Brecon Win
Stephen Roach (SIS) cruised to victory in round 4 of the Welsh Cyclo Cross League at the weekend which incorporated a round of the
Scott National League.
Roach hit the front early on the fast grassland circuit to open a gap on chasing pair Anthony O�Boyle (Newport Phoenix)
and George Richardson (Team Kona). O�Boyle ended the race in second after Richardson punctured on the final circuit.
The Roach family made it a day of victories with Philip taking the Veterans prize and Ben winning the Youth.
Welsh Cycling looks forward to 16 new Club Coaches qualifying after last weekends course run at Newport Velodrome.
The course is the last Club Coach to be run in Great Britain before British Cycling aligns to the UK Coaching Certificate standards next year with a selection of new courses.
The coaches from across Wales will complete the certificate in November before commencing coaching activities within their clubs.
We are particularly delighted at the attendance of candidates from Wales�s new Go-Ride club Newport Velo, plus Maindy Flyers and Bynea CC who will be registering for Go-Ride imminently.
Anyone who would like further information on Coaching courses can get information from the South Wales Development Officer on 07968 801628.
