Pendle Ski Club News

After the recent cold weather and snow it was a clear dry sunny day to welcome everyone back for round 4 of the Pendle Winter Race League after the Christmas break.

Although the event was close to half term with some racers away on holidays, at Esskia events or racing in Scotland we still had over 100 racers taking part, from Carlise, Kendal, Oval, Sheffield, Runcorn, Rosendale & Stoke.

Thanks go to the team of helpers who arrived early to put arrangements in place for a prompt start to get racing underway for 9.30 allowing us to get through 114 races by 12.40 for prize giving at 1.00pm

We look forward to seeing everyone again in March for the last event of the series – don’t forget it’s the best four out of five results to count, and to bring back any of the overall trophies so that they can be presented for the series.

Well done to Jake Lye who has been awarded the monthly coaches award for January 2015 for continued hard work in training especially after recovering from a broken leg at the later part of 2014.

Keep up the hard work

It was great to see Dave Ryding featured on Ski Sunday recently, his summer training program is really paying dividends with him being able to put down some fantastic performances in the FIS racers finishing within the top 30 after the first run on a regular basis to earn a place on the second run start list and gain those valueable points.

Well done Dave, and thanks for mentioning Pendle.

We all wish you well and hope for a great rest of season we will be following you on Ski Sunday and Facebook
