The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 7 -14th June 2022 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative)
Perfect weather conditions tonight, but sadly we had to keep the race inside the bowl due to the travellers on the outside area. Safety always first.Racing was super fast tonight. There were many attempted breaks in both races, one of 7 strong riders in the ABCD race which looked like it might stay away, but all were brought back with some major efforts from the bunch. A sprint finish for both races tonight. Congratulations to all our winners.Thank you to the helpers.If you have not helped yet, please pop your name down on the list. I am looking for 28th June, 5th, 12th, 26th July and all Tuesday’s in August please.

The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 6 -07/06/ 2022 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative)
A great safe, dry and warm race tonight with only one race to run as the EFGH riders voted to join the ABCD riders due to the small entry numbers in their race. Massive well done to these riders who did an amazing job staying with the youngsters, a great ride by Martin Fisher who stayed till the end finishing half way down the field. There was an early break of 4 who became 3 with 30 seconds gap, but the bunch were having none of that tonight and worked brilliantly together to bring the break back over about 6 laps. The race then ended with a massive bunch sprint won by the new National A road race champion Gavin Howell.Thank you as always to our helpers tonight and congratulations to all our winners (My apologies I still have the 1st & 2nd B prize envelopes-will bring next week).Results can be found at:-https://results.sporthive.com/events/PC1994832I love these races, thank you to everyone who comes along to support, to help, to race and take photographs, such a great social and so nice to see everyone

The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 3 -17th May 2022 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative)
A ‘will it’ ‘won’t it’ rain night but thankfully the heavy rain held off until after the finish. We kept the race inside the bowl tonight, putting safety first. A crash in the ABCD race just over half way through saw 2 riders down and 1 on the grass, hope you both feel better soon and a massive thank you to the great care given from William Nolan our superb first aider.
The ABCD race broke up with 2 away, over 1 minute up for the majority of the race, staying away to take 1st and 2nd with another break going during the last couple of laps to take a staggered 3rd ,4th and 5th with the bunch sprinting for 6th place.The EFG race had a few break away attempts but all came together for a bunch sprint at the end.Great to see everyone and well done to all our winners. Many thanks to all our helpers tonight for setting up and helping out as always making it possible to run these events.
