What a fantastic year senior Club member Lance Ravenhill is having! Having won two Gold medals at the National Track Championships, (see item below) Lance went on to ride the 40 Lap Points Race in the European Championships at Manchester Velodrome at the end of July.

Not only did our hero win the Gold medal, he also lapped the field beating second placed Geoff Cooke (who won the 500m Time Trial earlier in the week) and third placed Italian Guido Lupo (who had earlier won the Scratch Race).

Once again Lance beat the best of the rest riding his ancient looking Brian Rourke track bike and here is a picture of him proudly wearing his European Champions jersey.

Many congratulations to Lance again (what more can we say?!)

As usual, Lance has written a report so you can read what it’s really like to be a Champion – just click “more” to read his story. (more…)
