Regional Winter Series 2009/10 Round
2
The second round of the East Anglia BMX Region winter
series took place last Sunday at the track of the Peterborough BMX
Club. The event attracted over 80 riders from across the region with
many staying away because of the earlier weather forecasts which
gave rain and wind but the day dawned fine and stayed dry and sunny
throughout which gave good conditions for the riders on a track that
drained well was riding as good as ever.
This change of classes for the winter series with
Novice and Expert riders of all abilities competing together to gain
points to their series rankings adds extra interest for the riders
and spectators alike and the racing was close and very competitive.
Royston’s only female rider on the day, Ella Tomsett, took a well
deserved 3rd in the 10 and Under Girls class whilst in
the Under 7 male class, Alfie Salmon took 2nd in the main
final and new club member, Will Frascoe took 2nd in the
class B final. The 8-10yr male class saw Myles Fisher also taking 2nd
in the main “A” final with James King just behind in 4th
whilst in the B final Royston riders Marmaduke Birt, Rowan Clark and
Benjamin Mansfield took 4th, 5th and 6th
respectively and Nate Ridgewell took 1st in the class “C”
final. The Rockets took a podium position in the 11-13yr category
where Ethan Vernon took 2nd place Matthew Harris took 4th
in the B final and in the 14-16yr class, Andrew Brooker took 8th
in the “A” final. The final rider for the Rockets competing in the
17+ Cruiser class were Carl Birt who took 5th in the A
final and Matt Salmon took 2nd in the B final.
Round 3 of the Regional Series takes place on 13th
December at the Rockets home track in Burns Road and on November 29th
the clubs own winter series programme continues with round 2. Full
details of forthcoming club and regional events will be published
