The ice has been broken, the Icebreaker Youth & Junior Track Series in Newport at the Wales Velodrome is now done and dusted, and Slipstreamers are suitably warmed up for the season ahead! Enjoy the following report by Slipstreamer Dad Steve Mellor, who was track-side supporting Harriet and fellow Slipstreamers!
Well done Harriet!
“The three event series which commenced back in January and concluded on March 21st, came to an end with two points between the top three finishing riders. There was some close and exciting racing throughout the series…not a place to be for the faint hearted!
Had a tyre decided not to blow off a rim in Icebreaker 2, maybe the result could have been different, we’ll never know…. but that’s racing for you!
This competition tends to attract quality opposition from all over the country, and is a good way to open the year with some serious indoor track racing.
Harriet was not alone though, fellow Slipstreamers Lorna, Jemma and Carl all put in sterling performances.”
Amazing outcome Harriet – fabulous! And well done to all Slipstreamers who took part flying the flag for the club at such a great even. Full results are all available by searching “Icebreakers” on the British Cycling website.
