Saturday saw the last of this summer's coaching sessions on the track at UCLAN Sports Arena. Feedback from participants was positive with almost everyone having a different favourite activity.

Red Rose Olympic's summer of cycling continues with an off-road focus next week. We'll be meeting at 9am at the sports arena.

We will be focusing on mountain biking and then cyclocross skills ready for the start of the cyclocross season.

Thursday 28th July saw the last of the Lewis Balyckyi Glasdon Crit Series at UCLAN Sports Arena.

Tom was there representing Red Rose Olympic and just managed to take 4th place by a very slim margin.

After taking part in 17 out of a total of 18 races Tom came 2nd overall based on the best 10 results - well done Tom!

This morning we had a great turn out, we welcomed some new riders and it was good to some guys making it down for the first time this year. Happy birthday Jessie!

So we were working on sprinting out of lanes, cat and mouse (the cats behind!) and moved on to sprint trains and lead outs - hard work but looked great fun for the riders.

Back for the first time in 10 years! 

Sponsored by The Green Jersey, the Clitheroe Grand Prix was a challenging 900m course on closed roads around the centre of the picturesque market town.

Tom was there representing Red Rose for his first time racing on closed roads.

Astley & Tyldesley Cycle Speedway Club hosted the second round of the 2016 North West Youth League.

Tom was there representing Red Rose Olympic. He was quite nervous after having never done this discipline before and having watched numerous cycle speedway crashes on YouTube, but he quickly got the hang of it and won his first heat.

Our thanks go to the guys at Astley & Tyldesley after they put on a great event and we really enjoyed the day as spectators.
