The Boy Dan does good

So, Edinburgh attracted loads of riders from around the Uk and Schlapp were represented by Messers Huff, Norfolk and the Boy Dan. While Mr Huff scrubbed some more skin off after sliding acrross the track in the kiein, Mr Norfolk complained bout his sore legs, the Boy Dan was winning a brace of events and bringing in the dosh. Great riding!
A few days earlier Dan had won the junior omnium at Scumchester beating a good number of class riders an looks to be coming on form for the Irish International in Dublin later in July.

Scottish tracks

Jo Wilman continued her good form with a few wins in the regional track omnium round in Dundee at the weekend.
With wins in the keirin sprint and close 2nd in the points races, Jo was only beaten by one boy in one race and won the womens section easily. Good girl!
