A full race report will follow as I have no idea who won…

I do have a good excuse though; in the 25+/Cruisers class I was busy getting thrashed by Ross Gill, Matty Glynn and new member Matt Haynes. As for the other classes….

The BMX Talent Team arrived en masse as they were in Manchester for a training camp, the guys and girls absolutely flew round the Platt Fields track, despite having had a week of gym sessions and riding to contend with.

The youth club riders who had stayed on and their parents were treated to a display of excellent speed and skills from the TT massive. Then, a man in black arrived….

“That’s Dan Atherton” someone said…Indeed it was, Dan, one of the three Atherton siblings who have taken the world of Downhill and 4X by storm, was in town to see a physio in preparation for the MTB World Champs. He rode the track on his BMX and didn’t seem to mind the stares from several of our riders!

What can I say? Manchester BMX; the place to be!!!!!
