Slipstreamers Own the Podium at Black Park MTB Youth Races
The Hillingdon Slipstreamers MTB squad were out in force last Saturday, 31st May, with a full seventeen club riders participating in a series of mountain bike races at Black Park. Supported by a healthy contingent of enthusiastic family members, fellow Slipstreamers, and coaches, our young ‘Mudslingers’ stormed the podium, placing either first or second in every race category.
Racers negotiated a twisty course of technical single-track through pine forest in ideal conditions, and came away with big smiles and high-fives all around after two races each.
Overall results and special mentions as follows:
UNDER 8’s:
Boys: 2nd Miles O’Brien (who also won his second race); 3rd Jay Lloyd
Girls: 1st Grace Whitney (beating all boys in her age group as well!)
UNDER 10’s:
Boys: 1st Kai Lloyd (who won both of his races); 2nd Alex Uphill
