The second round of the East Anglia BMX 2010 Summer Series was at the picturesque track of the Codham Park BMX Club last Sunday. Almost 130 riders from across the region registered for the event although the weather did not live up to expectations being cold and windy which made the track seem very long but the racing remained competitive throughout the day for the nineteen riders from Royston.

Royston had three female riders taking the part with the youngest, Ella Tomsett, taking 2^nd in the Girls 7-8 class and in the 11-12 category Faye Godfrey also took 2^nd in her first visit to this venue and another 2^nd place went to Helen Nicholl in the Ladies Cruiser 25+ class.

The male riders also came away with good results with Louis Foreman leading the points chase with a 5^th in the 8 year class and the 9yr class final was packed with Rockets with Ted Dalleywater in 3^rd just heading home team mate James King in 4^th and Marmaduke Birt in 8^th. The 10yr male class saw two more good results for the Rockets with Myles Fisher finishing in 2^nd to earn a Rider of the Day award, having been chased all the way by Daniel Blanche who took 3^rd. The 11 yr class saw Ethan Vernon take the win ahead of Aaron Dalleywater in 2^nd whilst the 12 yr class saw Matthew Harris in 5^th The 15yr class saw another of Royston new members, Jordan Godfrey taking 4^th and in the 16 year category, Andrew Brooker finished in 2^nd whilst the 17-24 class A final saw Richard Townsend take 5^th and in the 30+ “Masters” class Adam Richards took 2^nd  in the A final with team mate Alex Shore-Nye taking 2^nd in the B final. Royston’s two oldest riders both won their classes with Darren Foreman competing in the 40+ Vets class and Carl Birt in the Cruiser 45+ category.
