MATCH REPORT: A&T Go-Ride Grand Prix Round 4

Astley & Tyldesley concluded a highly successful summer of recruitment, taster and Go-Ride events, with the 4th Round of the A&T Go-Ride Grand Prix series at Gin Pit on Tuesday. 16 riders lined up for the 20 heats match, including 10 first year riders. As always, riders were handicapped, to reflect the differences in age, ability and experience and a most enjoyable event followed.

Jack Waddington took the win on the night, finishing ahead of Alex Lawless, with 4 year old Lillie Field winning a run-off for 3rd place – all first year riders.
In the overall standings, Charlie Burgess held on to win the overall series, despite missing the last round, with Duncan Whalley second and Alex Lawless third.

60 new riders have participated in taster events at Gin Pit this year, with the A&T club’s recruitment sessions held in conjunction with ATSA, British Cycling’s Let’s Ride Summer of Cycling and Go-Ride events, Access Sport’s Wingz Cycle Speedway events and MM Chinese Club’s summer holiday activities.
