Regional Winter Series 2009/10 Round 1
The first round of the East Anglia BMX Region winter
series took place last Sunday at the track of the Braintree BMX
Club. The event attracted almost 140 riders from across the region
and apart from one short sharp shower the weather was dry and sunny
which gave good conditions for the riders on a track that was
rebuilt earlier in the year to full national standard.
This winter series runs different classes to the
summer series with Novice and Expert riders of all abilities
competing together to gain points to their series rankings.
Royston’s only female rider on the day, Ella Tomsett, started a good
run of results for her club as she took 5th in the 10 and
Under Girls class whilst in the 8-10yr male class Myles Fisher made
the main “A” final where he finished in 8th, James King
took the win in the B final and Royston’s two new riders in the
class, Benjamin Mansfield and Nate Ridgewell took 2nd and
5th in the “C” final. The Rockets took a podium position
in the 11-13yr category where Ethan Vernon took 2nd place
overall and in the 14-16yr class, Andrew Brooker took 6th
in the “A” final whilst team mates Max Jenkins and Joel Smith took 4th
and 5th respectively in the class “B” final. The final
rider for the Rockets competing in the Masters class (30+) was
Darren Foreman who took a fine win to round off a good day for the
club’s members, many of whom are relatively new to this level of
competition.
Round 2 of the Regional Series takes place on 15th
November at Peterborough and the Rockets own winter series programme
at the clubs track in Burns Road, Royston continues on November 29th.
Full details of forthcoming club and regional events will be
published soon on the club web site at
