The Ron Day MK Bowl Race 12

The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 12- 29th Aug 2023 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative). THE LAST RACE OF THE SEASON 😢

Firstly Congratulations to the ‘Ron Day Memorial’ cup winner 2023 – Roland Elsdon. Roland won his age catagory the most this season. Well done 👏

A Great turn out for our last night. Thank you to all that came to support and to our marshal Jason Giller. We were able to run 2 races staying inside the gates. The rain didn’t hold off, but it didn’t stop some strong riding tonight,. A four man break in the EFGHW race went away early, James Stewart left the 3 behind, staying away to take the win and lapping the main field after 23 minutes of racing. The 3 left in the break took 2nd, 3rd and 4th ahead of the bunch.

The ABCD race saw Gavin Howell and Aleck Hornshaw form an early break with a 30 second lead. Gavin then rode away from Aleck, leaving him on his own, to be caught by the bunch. Glenn McMenamin won the bunch sprint.

A few thank you’s……….

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported this series this year as riders and/or helpers. We have appreciated you.

Thank you to Church Lane Creative for being our sponsor.

Thank you to Dick Selley, and Chris Londy for all their hard work setting up and taking down the circuit every week, to Peter Nolan for his great first aid, he only had to treat one rider and me 🤣 this season. Thank you to Sue Elsdon for helping every single week and all the riders who gave up a race to help out.

Thank you for our bubbles, flowers and day out voucher, that was very kind and thoughtful of you all, thanks Clare E Belle Simon for organising that 🥰

Wishing you all a strong and safe winter training and hope to be back next May.

Take care everyone, Trudie x

The Ron Day MK Bowl Race 11

The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 11 – 22nd Aug 2023 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative).

A beautiful night for racing tonight. The riders opted for one race with 6 ABCD riders giving the EFGHL riders a good workout. It didn’t take long for the Gavin Howell train to split the group with many single riders left riding round the circuit. These riders soon formed a second group. James Stewart had a few flying laps off the front of the breakaway group but was brought back. Impressive riding by lots of riders tonight hanging in with some fast racing. Well done to all our winners.

Last race of the series next week and presentation of the Ron Day Memorial cup. Please be at the start for 6.50pm of this.

Thank you to marshal helper Paul Bird, Dick Selley and Chris for setting up and Peter Nolan for First Aid.

Look forward to seeing you next week.
