NJTS Reports
Posted: 12 Nov 2015, 19:33
In this thread i am going to do a series of reports about the racing exploits of myself, the rest of the Dulwich hill juniors squad as well as my SMCA Teammates. For those who don't know NJTS stands for national junior track series, which is separate from the National Championship. The series has 4 rounds, in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania, in that order. it serves to provide lots for racing in big (and strong) fields. it is a chance especially for newer riders to learn how to ride in a bunch of 24.
So the Sydney round has already come to pass, with some great racing from all in attendance. notably Will and Mia punching well above their weight as first year fifteens. Tomas Cornish, SMCA teammate took out a host of victories, and left ranked 4th. One of the standout races for me was me and Toms points race final, when we attacked with 11 laps still on the board and stayed away despite a host of quality riders behind to take out 1st and 2nd. You never stop learning a track events like these and i was learned the hard lesson of when NOT to attack. I finished ranked 14th, and look to try and ride my way into top ten in rank in the coming rounds
results and rankings are here

Updates to come.
