Meet
Dave Meakin's stepson Connor, aged
10, the YRC's youngest member. Connor will
be flying the flag for the Yorkie's at
Whiterose Youth League events from May onwards.
Good luck Connor.
Although he will still be
too young for the 2012 Olympic Games, Connor
will be carefully nurtured by Dave for the
2016 event. Dave said "He will benefit from
my years of success and experience". Dave has
promised him the very best equipment, although
this will mainly be hand me down gear as Dave
doesn't want him to use anything that isn't
up to scratch.

Carl
Saint breaks the National 25 Trike
Record
To go with his National
10 Trike Record, Carl broke the National 25 Trike Record
in the Stone
Wheelers CC event on 20th September on the J5/8. He
rode a 54:48 to take the record. Carl
said "It was a tricky course for the trike with 7 roundabouts
and a camber that was always trying to steer the trike
for me. With the tailwind out, I flew to the turn (well
for a trike anyway)" -
Results
To round off his weekend,
the day after the Trike record, Carl won the Cleveland
Couriers 25 by nearly 3 minutes,
in 52-08. YRC took the team prize too, with Carl, Phil
Hurt (58-57) and Mark Johnson (57-19).
