Leo, in Year 9, started riding his balance bike when he was two years old and moved onto his pedal bike just before his fourth birthday. His interest in mountain biking was inspired by his Dad who is a keen cyclist. Fast forward nine years and thirteen-year-old Leo has just won the Under 14 time trial at Hamsterley Forest. Leo completed three separate trails which linked into one run for the competition, beating a field of fourteen competitors. This is amazing news for Leo as he only started competing last year.
Leo said: “I was really pleased to win the race at Hamsterley and it’s really boosted my confidence. It is really exciting to be racing against the clock and pushing yourself to the limit.”
Leo is looking forward to competing in a number of other events this year included competitions at Wales, Durham and Hamsterley. We can’t wait to hear how he gets on.
