This is what makes our Club so special, we have riders of all ages. Well done Megan!! yes

An overcast but dry day at Salt Ayre saw the riders in the Screentek International North West Youth Tour take part in two final stages – both about half the length of the previous day in Preston, but with the two run in opposite directions around the circuit.

The format, the circuit and the effects of tired legs favoured the sprinters and gave a few new names the opportunity to take the glory – although with little impact on the general classification.

Such was the domination of the sprinters that every breakaway – and there were a few – was hauled back before the finish – with just one exception in 20 races! Even then, the bunch closed the winner down so hard in the closing stages that there was still only a couple of seconds in it.

In the Under 8 girls, Anna Lloyd of Lee Valley Youth Cycling had a double win, but it wasn’t enough to overhaul Megan Lloyd of Harry Middleton Cycling Club – event with a nine-second gap in the final race. Elise Hawkins of Palmer Park Velo took third in both and in the GC – just over three and a half minutes behind Anna Lloyd, who had closed the gap to Megan to 14 seconds.
