Congratulations Daniel

Young Daniel Thompson has recently been racing in the Isle of Man Youth Tour (29 April – 1 May). He was competing in the Under 8’s category in the three stage race.

He was in good form in the prologue time trial finishing in second place, just two seconds down on the winner.

However, he went one better in the next event, a road race, by winning it and taking over the leader’s yellow jersey. He won again on the final day’s race to extend his lead and win the overall title.

A great result Daniel, well done!

North East Road Youth League 2016

Please find below an introduction to the North East Road Youth League (RYL) for 2016.

The RYL has been revamped this year to bring a fresh approach to youth cycling, focusing on skills, not just racing. This league provides a stepping stone between Go-Ride grass roots races and National Youth races. Without your support in hosting these races, our region’s talented riders may be overlooked when National organisers have to select riders onto limited places. You all play a valuable role in providing our youth riders with much needed racing experience, hopefully leading onto the national scene and beyond. At the very least, it provides a great deal of development and fun to a large community of young talented athletes in the North East.

The programme of events can be found here.

The RYL also has its own website and Facebook page.
