Drama at Round 1 of the MMBC Junior Summer Series! Conhrenny hosted the blustery first round of the Junior Summer Series with 19 riders in total. A more relaxed atmosphere made for great racing and smiles all round! The Under 8's race was closely fought with Zac Walker stretching out an early lead, followed by Callum Crellin and Cameron Hawes who struggled with a mechanical throughout the race. Dominic Dunwell rounded out the top 4. Nancy Wheeler kept the boys on their toes, taking the win from Mia Dunwell. A dramatic start to the Under 10's left an unfortunate Callum Smith with a broken chain and Will Corkish sat in a hedge on the first technical section. Will recovered to take the win from Corrin Leeming and Charlie Gibson. Shellan Leeming gave a strong ride, matching the boy’s total of 5 laps. The biggest field of the day was the Under 12's with Max Walker finishing first, Josh Smith second, Joseph Corkish third. Harry Gell and William Hearnden finished solidly in fourth and fifth. The new addition to the Junior Series were the Youths! The course was tough with a long and demanding climb to the finish. Liam Mazzone and Michael Quayle remained close throughout the race, Liam edging out to take second. First place went out to newcomer Jack Corlett who put in an outstanding performance completing 6 laps in an hour! One to watch at the next round! Thanks to Steve from Manx First Aid, marshals and parents and also Alex Parkes for taking in the course. Round two will be held at South Barrule on the 27th May. Due to a technical issue we have had to use the manual records for the positions of the race, unfortunately it was just one of those things but luckily thanks to Helen we have the positions which we can use to award the appropriate series points.

This weeks race is taking place on high ground and with the prospect of the weather on Monday being very wet and misty on the hill tops, extra care is required to keep everyone safe. It will be important to keep an eye out for each other. Make sure you have the correct equipment and clothing with you so that in a worse case scenario you will be ok. We would encourage the use of a small LED front and rear lights to help keep track of each other if the mist gets as thick as it can do. Don't want to put people off and you will not be stopped from racing if you decide to wear just a Mankini, but think a bit of forward planning with clothing and equipment will make it more enjoyable if the conditions are poor and as club race organiser I just wanted this to be said!
