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.
