Youth Academy XC Race Results

An amazing morning of racing for our Youth Academy riders and visitors from Wadebridge Coasters!

The St Austell Wheelers CC Youth Academy Coaches created a fast course with some technical features suitable for all age categories including a special course for Balance Bikes! Entries were received for U6, U8, U10, U12 and U14 categories providing some very competitive racing for all entrants.

Balance Bikes enjoyed their race on the playground with Ruan 1st and Jack 2nd. Some fo the U6’s generously took part as well but were not allowed to feature in the prizes of course.

The U6 and U8 riders started together and rode a course which included a short climb, steep drop and some testing corners.

The U10, U12 and U14 riders also started together and rode an extended course which, in addition to the U6/U8 course, included a testing single track section, a wooded section with adverse cambers and steep descents plus a steep bank to overcome.

The high humidity caused the races to be shortened a little but all riders enjoyed the experience and the effort.

Congratulations to everyone especially those who placed and enjoyed their time on the podium. Tim Styles, Mayor of St Austell, kindly agreed to present medals and rounded off a fantastic morning.

Many thanks to all our helpers especially the Coaches who were setting up the courses at 6:30 am!

When’s the next one? 😂
