Steve Binks

20161114_184634
On Monday night BBC Look North came along to the Sports Village and the junior coaching session. Steve Binks has been put forward by the club as an ‘unsung hero’, the regional winner going on to BBC Sports Personality of the Year. This is because of his outstanding service both to the club and the wider cycling community over many many  years.

Steve has made it to the regional finals and the BBC was there to interview him for Look North. They talked about the coaching, organising events and the Tour of Yorkshire amongst other things. It is fantastic that the panel of judges have recognised Steves service to cycling.

The feature will go out on Look North on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday next week (w/c 21st Nov).
