The Grand of all Grand Finals + whats coming up
What an end to fantastic season of racing. Dave & Alex planned a great course with a good mix of terrain but not too hard for a change. Hetton held up very well considering the recent weather. Well done to all the riders who have took part over the season and hope to see all you League finishers at the Presentation Night. Race report, photo links etc are in the NEWS Section.
Eston Ice Ring Hills !
We returned to Teeside for Rd 7 of the NECCL Winter Series 2010/11. The round was based on the former NEMBA venue @ Flatts Lane. The carpark was a shock / horror for most and that was before getting the bike out! Due to the ice the course had to revised on the day but still very challenging for all three races. Many thanks to Derek & all his helpers from Cleveland Wheelers CC.
