Big post…please read through for all relevant info!
Congrats to all BKL members who competed in last week’s Lollipop Timetrial! Here are some results:
Penguins ready to race the Lollipop TT!
A lack of snow didn’t get the younger MNC crew down as they headed indoors to MetroRock in Essex for some climbing adventures at practice last Thursday!
We also had several BKL Race members racing in the Eastern Cups at Craftsbury. Ali, Sammie, Magda, Aidan and Camille may not be U16’s yet, but they are ready to race fast!
Ali rounds the turn hammering out a 5k!
