Stuart Gardner | www.alkekvelodrome.com<\/h4>\n

Track Racing\nWe had a stellar Atomic TT, results are here! Some standout moments for me were the seeing new riders out doing their first races, the track records broken (Jen 500m Elite, Andy 500m Elite, Roberto Kilo 35+). Andy beat Koh’s 2019 record, Jen to Gill’s 1997 record and Roberto to the record of multiple masters world champion and Olympic gold medalist Al Whaley!<\/p>\n

Seeing so many juniors out was great, Fury and Selectri we strongly represented along with many of our WK1 YCL graduates including 7 year old Ryan Kegel! This is a testament to the amazing work done by Carl, Katie, Austin, Sebastian and the rest of the coaching team.<\/p>\n

Our next races are as follows:\nFNR – June 25th 7pm (Snowball, Miss n Out, Points)\nMNS – June 28th 7pm (The moto is back so Keirin’s are go!)\nAtomic TT – July 3rd 8am<\/p>\n
