Hiya Everyone

Some great news-Jake and Josh Moody, Keir, Emma B, Alex H and myself have all past our Track Accreditation at Manchester Velodrome. I think we might be the first Hawks to acheive it. It means we can train and race on the track confident that we know what we are doing and most important we will be able to do it safely. Congrats to all and thanks to our parents for doing all the traveling!!!

Emma B took advantage and went to her first track race with the Tanfields to Dundee. She really enjoyed it and came 3rd in the U10's. Harry was 4th and Charlie 1st.

We've had a busy week. Some of us went on a long ride last Sunday with Cleveland Wheelers and then back to the Tanfields for a BBQ. A water slide on the garden added to the entertainment and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks to Claire and Stewart for putting up with us all.

Monday and Tuesday we had League 2000 and Croft as usual.

Tuesday to Friday we had a training week at Hetton with Jamie and John coaching us. We did skills and riding in groups as well as lots of fun type sessions. Thanks to both of them.

Yesterday Newcastle Phoenix held a Coalfield race at Hetton, there was a good turnout with excellent weather.
Not sure of all the results will submit when ready.

Talking of results here are the ones I promised. I've listed the North East contenders.
