26th August 2010: Rain again heavily disrupted the Newcastle-under-Lyme Track League with only the Freewheelers races taking place
before the heavens opened and the main league was cancelled. It is now hoped that the final league event on the 2nd September will be graced
with good weather and a bumper turnout of riders. There will also be cash prizes on offer across all category groups on the night which should
make the competition fierce.
In the Freewheelers races completed the top points scorers were as follows;
Group 1 Megan Wynn Lyme RC
Group 2 Brandon McMillan Lyme RC
Bradley Hill Lyme RC
Group 3 Holly Mulroy

Training
Monday Night 6-30pm to Late:
Juniors, Veterans and Beginners (Go-Ride Activites)
On your first night, Beginners need to bring with them a mountain bike or road bike.
They will then have to complete a grass track session under the guidance of Paul Swinnerton
which will be track skills based. This is for all age groups so a move away from the Go-Ride
skills to more track skills on grass. Once the riders are adjudged to be competitant they will
be passed on to the track coaches to take on to the track.
Coaches: Chris Pyatt, Paul Barber, Martyn Shaw, Paul Swinnerton
Cost: u16 - £3, Senior - £4, Bike Hire - £2 (free for u16)
Tuesday Night 6-30pm to Late:
Seniors Training Night - expert tuition from our
Sprint and Endurance Specific Coaches
including Derny Paced Efforts
Steve Cronshaw, Dave Smith, Steve Clayton, Rik Notley, Karen Byrne (Women's Coaching)
Cost: u16 - £3, Senior - £4, Bike Hire - £2 (free for u16)

Go-Ride Activites
The sessions will be aimed at children who cannot yet ride the track, with mainly the under 10s
targetted, but also any older riders who need some extra bike skills
before riding on the track.
The Go-Ride activities will include riding around
cones, under limbo bars and various other skill based routes. We feel that this
will attract a number of riders who compete at the Freewheelers League
Riders will be asked to bring their own bikes which can be MTB, Road or BMX along
with a suitable helmet. The cost for the session will be £2 and will start at
6.30pm lasting around 1 hour to 1 hour 30 mins
