Connor MacArthur takes bronze meda l
Local lad done good
n Saturday 6th March, the O first youth cycle race of 2014 took place with Team MK at the Milton Keynes Bowl, and the very first race for young Connor MacArthur, aged just six from Olney.
Last December a new racing bike was his birthday present, from Roy Pinks in Newport Pagnell, with James helping to set up the bike for Connor in the shop.
He has been busy every Saturday for a few months now training with the Team MK coaches, and was keen to race against boys and girls his own age.
Words of encouragement and 'just try you best' were ringing in his ears as he lined up to start, sporting his new Roy Pinks racing jersey, with a few older riders towering above him! We were all hoping for him to just
finish and enjoy himself , so it was a great result to achieve a bronze medal in the under eight boys category.
Does he want to race again next week - you bet he does!
