2023 Subscriptions martin Posted September 8, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Jets Danny Mulholland and Gemma Penman were selected to race for Scotland as part of the 8 rider team that smashed it at the BC inter-regional champs in Manchester last weekend. The inter-regional track champs is a huge event in the u16 racing calendar. It's only opportunity for our Scottish u16 riders to wear national colours, competing against 12 other regional teams from across the UK over 3 days. This was the first time Scotland has ever won the event, and I'm chuffed to say our Jets played their role in a dominant team performance. Danny was one of 2 endurance riders in the boys team, alongside Joe Nally of Hardie Bikes and sprinters Lewis Stewart (Glasgow Riderz) and Stephen Dent (Nevis Bikes). Gemma was joined by fellow sprinter Amber King of Stirling Bike club, and endurance riders Jenny Holl and Rhona Callander (also SBC). Gemma won silver in the standing 250m time trial and team sprint. Danny missed the individual podium, but came soooo close with 4th in the devil, madison (with Joe) and skills challenge. The girls madison team went better, winning gold, and the boys went even better in the team sprint, taking gold and a new national record. Hot stuff. Scotland team coach John Bremner (Discovery Junior CC) paid credit to all the riders, saying he'd never worked with such a dedicated and disciplined team in his life. Youth racing looking good in Scotland. Mon the Jets. M SansC, PaulL, KennyS and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted September 8, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Absolutely outstanding. Can't wait to get back to track league to get horsed by 15 year old schoolgirls. Sorry, UK champions. Not that I'll be racing in their class...
