Paul Milnes Cycles / Bradford Olympic R.C. Cycling Club

As 2020 draws to a close, I think it’s safe to say it been challenging in lots of ways for all of us!
Cyclocross racing too has been challenging, cancellation of lots of the National Trophy Series and planned development trips to Belgium proving to be impossible, has all made for a very different season this year!
But despite it all we have had so many positives! Fantastic efforts from local race organisers have given us some great races and we would like to thank them and their teams of volunteers for their continuing hard work!
But best of all has been the great efforts made by our riders! We have had brilliant performances in all categories! Well done to everyone who has raced with a smile on their faces because, above all else, this club is about our riders enjoying their cycling and racing!
As we head towards 2021, would like to wish everyone a very healthy and happy New Year! 🎉
See you all next year! 😄

With no Yorkshire race last weekend, three of our riders made the trip to Scunthorpe on Sunday to ride round 8 of the Lincolnshire champs.
Despite being gridded at the back of the field, and also setting off 30 seconds behind the senior riders, Dexter Leeming-Sykes and Daniel Hepton both put in fantastic performances making great progress through the whole field to finish 1st and 2nd Junior respectively and well up in the race overall!
Well done too to Thomas Hepton, taking a great 9th place in the U14s
Well done everyone!
Thank you to David Leeming-Sykes and Claire Hepton for the race reports and to Mo Leeming-Sykes for the great photos!
