WINDERMERE schoolboy, Leon Parker, has become the U10 North West Cyclocross League Champion as well as the U10 North of England champion after his remarkable record of wins.

Leon, a pupil at the Elleray Campus of Windermere School and a former UK BMX British and National Champion has just finished racing in the North West Cyclocross League with an astonishing record of eleven wins out of the thirteen races in his age group under his belt.

The racer was also crowned the U10 North of England Champion following his recent victory in the North of England cyclocross Championships, which were held at Peel Park in Bradford.

Leon, who is a member of Salt Ayre Cog Set, said the racing series has been 'pretty tricky' with lots of obstacles but 'great fun' too.

Dubbed as the Youth Tour de France Leon has also been offered a place in the Tour Of Aseen in the Netherlands. An event which is arguably the biggest cycle race in the world for anyone between the age of five and 18 years-old.

Stuart Parker, Leon's father, said he was very proud of his son's achievements.

"We’re absolutely thrilled for Leon. He has worked very hard to improve his cyclocross skills," he said. "loves riding his bikes and is already preparing for the road racing season – he’s already looking forward to the Tour of Assen and he hopes to be offered a place in the Isle of Man Youth Tour."

The Isle of Man Youth Tour, which takes place in May, is a three-day stage race on the roads around the Isle of Man, and is part of British Cycling's Youth Circuit Series.

Head of the Elleray Campus at Windermere School, Rachael Thomas added; “Over the years, we have been following Leon’s triumphs, first on his BMX and now in the cyclocross series. We are thrilled with his latest achievements and look forward to hearing all about his exploits in the Netherlands, and hopefully from the Isle of Man.”
