Ron Day Memorial – MK Bowl (11)

The LAST of the Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 11 -23rd July 2024 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative).

WOW – what a season, I’ve loved it. 11 great races and the best part being that they were all safe and we kept out wonderful first aider Peter Nolan bored EVERY week. Well done everyone 🙂.png .

With thanks to all our helpers tonight and good weather, we were able to run the race out of the bottom gates from the gun.

The ABCD race mainly stayed together with a few attempts at breaks, Darren Farr took a lone lead with a few laps to go staying away to win the race with a Tadej Pogačar style finish, with Martin Quill winning the bunch sprint behind.

The EFGH looked fast tonight but they mainly stayed together with James Stewart winning the bunch sprint.

Huge huge thanks to everyone who has supported these events by racing and helping. I have really enjoyed promoting again this year.

Thank you for the kind gifts it was very thoughtful and very appreciated.

Well done to all our winners of tonights race as well as our series trophy winner Tony Carter who won his age catagory the most times this season and is now the proud owner of the Ron Day Memorial cup for a year.

Congratulations to all the age related points winners too, sponsored by (with huge thanks) Corley cycles and The Bike Bus.

Ron Day Memorial – MK Bowl (10)

The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 10 -16th July 2024 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative).

The rain held off and it turned out to be a lovely evening for our last but one race tonight. Huge thanks to our wonderful helpers who all turned out to enable us to run the race outside the gates into the east car park after 30 mins racing inside.

A very small bunch of 6 riders started the ABCD race, strong men Martin Quill and Michael DArcy made a break leaving the rest of the bunch spread out individually, all riding time trials. It was a great sprint finish, won by Martin.

The EFGH race mainly stayed together tonight with a close bunch sprint between the Stewart boys, James and Paul at the end which was won by James.

Congratulations to all our winners.

Tonight was the last qualifying night for our Ron Day Memorial cup sponsored by Church Lane Creative and our Points series sponsored by Corley Cycles and The Bike Bus.

Presentation for these to take place on the start line at 6.45pm next week.

Next week is sadly is our last race this season due to concerts at the bowl.

I am looking for help next week with marshalling please if you can help, please contact me. Thank you
