Ipswich BMX Club recently staged
the second round of its British Cycling Go-Ride Racing, Summer Series. This was
the first club race of the year as the previous round had to be cancelled due
to start gate problems.
Glorious sunshine bathed the
clubs Landseer Park track & a cold, strong wind blew riders down the first
straight.Racing consisted of three classes
of four motos (heats). Riders were
ranked based on their finishing positions in each of the four motos.
The first (formula 3) saw a good
mixture of young & old riders of similar ability race against each other.
Jen Cannons came back well from injury to take the class win ahead of James
Bowater who pushed her all the way in second.
Formula 2 was to be a highly
competitive class. Jon Hambling & Ed Cannons raced hard & finished 2nd
& 3rd respectively. Adam Gilbert was a cut above the rest though
winning each of his four motos to finish first.
The final class of the evening
was formula 1. John Lillingstone finished ahead of Shaun Andrews in second with
Andrew Ashford more than pleased with his 3rd place finish.
A big thank you to all those who
helped on the evening, including those who made the journey from Braintree. Round
two of the Summer Series is at Landseer Park, Ipswich on May 12st.
