Top young cyclist - Levi Huck.

TIME TRIAL HAT TRICK

ONLY two years after starting racing with Doncaster Wheelers teenager Levi Huck has rounded off a splendid season by achieving success in three major time trial competitions.

The 18-year-old Woodlands rider won the North Midlands and Yorkshire titles - and finished in third place in the National Junior Best All-Rounder competition. Levi's performances against the clock have been impressive.
Over ten miles he clocked 21 minutes 1 second on the course at Ranby, North Nottinghamshire, and for the 25-mile distance in South Wales he posted a best of 55 minutes 12 seconds.  Former McAuley School student Levi, who is now studying for his A levels at Doncaster College, said: "I am delighted to have been so successful in what is my first racing season.
"The hard training that I put in last winter made a big difference and helped me to improve my times."
Playing a big part in Levi's development has been his father Graham Huck, who was a member of the 1975 Doncaster Wheelers team of Huck, Robson and Bickerstaffe that won the National 12-hour Team Time Trial.  Levi added: "Much of my quality training is done in our garage on my turbo trainer.  "The forty minutes interval sessions are tough but I get a real buzz from them."  Levi acknowledges the support that he has received from his parents and fellow Doncaster Wheelers members.  And, with more miles on the road this winter, backed up by weight training sessions at the Dome and some competitive outings at triathlon he hopes that he will achieve even better results next season

CYCLE ACE BEATS HIS BEST

TALENTED young Doncaster Wheeler Alex Wallis produced a personal best performance when he competed in the Hartlepool Cycling Club ten mile time trial ridden on the A19 at Crathorne.

The 13-year-old Ridgewood Comprehensive School pupil, who lives in Sprotbrough, recorded a time of 26 minutes 43 seconds to knock over half a minute off his previous best to finish the event as fastest schoolboy in the event. Alex, the son of Doncaster Wheeler Chris Wallis, is in his second season with the club.

He followed up that performance with a creditable 69th place in the George Herbert Stancer National Schools 10 mile championship at Boroughbridge last Saturday in a time of 27.59.
