Newcastle Track Cycling Association celebrated a successful year at their Prize Presentation evening which took place at St John Fisher High School last Friday.
A large crowd assembled at the venue where part of the evening included a programme of roller racing for the under 16s with some very spirited riding by all with some very close finishes. There then followed the awarding of this year’s trophies and medals. This year has been the best year at the league ever with 108 riders registered for the main competition and an amazing 64 riders in the youth freewheelers league.
The association has also organised two open meetings this year which included the National Tandem Championship and rounds of the National Youth Omnium, Sprinters League and Endurance League.
Next season the league starts on Thursday 26 April running through on every Thursday evening for a further 20 weeks in to September. The Freewheelers events will start next year at 6.10pm in order to give the riders the chance to compete in four events each. The main league will start as usual at 7.20pm.
The Association will also be promoting the two open meetings next year and also the national Youth Omnium final is also scheduled to take place at the Lyme Valley venue.
