Well the season has started with a bang hasn’t it?
This weekend saw racing across Friday, Saturday and Sunday......On Friday we had riders at Manchester velodrome, I spotted a win from Jess Crampton (good to have you back after a nasty crash in November at the Revolution), a slightly different competion on bikes was going on at the Northern quarter in Manchester city centre, Matt Rotherham, Megan Boyd and Melissa Bury did us proud there with Matt winning the male event, Melissa winning the female event with a national record and Megan just pipped to 3rd place.
