Jason Kenny, who returned from the Olympics with a gold and a silver, was spotted washing washing his car outside his Grandmas in sunny Farnworth, Bolton on Friday.

His Grandparents lives next door to Melissa's grandparents and Jason proudly paraded his medals to the older generation before returning to finish his car (bought on ebay I believe).

Steven Burke gets a gong

A past Sportcity rider gets a Olympic bronze, this is a fantastic achievement for the Colne rider who came up from the EV ranks, Steven inspired me a couple of years ago with a letter of resignation becuase he wanted to do more road racing and at that time we where in the main a track team, wow how things have changed we dominate the road as much as the track now,

congratulations from all at SCV and EV

 
Jason Kenny gets Olympic Gold

Jason took a gold in the team sprint earlier today along with the more experienced Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff, the young rider shot onto the GB squad after coming through the SCV setup and into the ODP and Olympic Academy, man it wasnt that long ago he was still riding the Act, Easter track meeting at the Velodrome,
Iam sure you will all agree that Jasons success will inspire new and existing riders to chase their dreams.

Congratualations from all at Sportcity Velo

I was sad to see Matt didnt get the cut on the Olympic team, Matts got to be one of my favourites a true gent and a professional with no ego and always as the time to talk to you, Iam sure Matt as the ability to be  a great rider outside the GB scene especially on the Six day circuit, he as also the physique that would enable him to ride successfully on the road, I hope he can broaden his horizons and stay positive and focused.

theres a great photo in this weeks cycling showing Matt lying on his back dreaming of sub 10 second rides ( thats on the drag strip of course) Iam sure whilst the others are chasing gold outhere you will be hitting York raceway.

Take it easy Matt

I would like to send a message of thanks to all members who have given messages of support to me, Sam and Jack,  it is a year ago this week that my wife Sue started on intense chemotherapy to cure luekemia, and culmernating in a bone marrow transplant some eight weeks ago, Sue is making a slow but steady recovery but we still have a long way to go. as you will apprehciate we have all gone through quite uncertain times, but the encouragement as brightened up many a dark day.

 i would like to give a personal thanks to Julie & Alex Martin, Mark & Carole Barry, Nigel & Mandy Bishop who have got us through some really low moments especially with the boys.

My involvement with SCV as got me through some long sleepless nights, especially sending emails at 3 in the morning!

Many thanks
