Race Round Up - 30 July 2017

There's been a pile of racing recently, almost too much to keep tabs on.

The fabulous Victoria CC 10.2 mile series went in to round 3 this weekend (29 July 2017). In the solo event Jerome Watts came out as TSE top dog with a time of 23.44. His best on the rolling and idyllic E1/10.2 by 15 seconds. A poorly Hockers grabbed a few more points in the series with 24.11, lemsip in the post mate. David Ledgerton completed matters with a 28.39.  The winner of  the event was Wayne Crombie in 21.51 with Dave Harding in 22.03 and Pete Harding 22.32 hot on his heels.

In the 3 up team time trial, the Robinson, Doyle, Hayes combo took top spot with a 23.09. An admittedly below par Steve got a good drag round the course vowing to get some more turbo miles in during his family holiday. One more decent ride could see the trio keep hold of their 3up title.

Steve, Simon and Sam at the front - thanks for Davey Jones for the snap

Later in the day, Ryan Witchell smashed out a sublime 20.39 for 6th spot in the Team Chronos F2/10. Awesome work by the baby of the team. 48s off the winner is an excellent ride.

Andy Horner wrapped things off with a spankingly good 21.23 with Tina Reid (Trainsharp) in the 2up team time trial.

In other news, Ric Palmer did a sportive.

N&DCA Rd7 2017 Results

The N&DCA Round 7 (2017) saw Paul Pardoe (Peterborough CC) take top spot in the men's competition, with Jackie Field (CC Ashwell) taking first in the Ladies' competition. Wrapping up a day of local club domination, Noal Field claimed the juniors prize and the trio of Davies, Martin and Stuart took the team honours.

Congratulations to all riders who managed to finish in today's downpour. Even by N&DCA standards today was a deluge and a half.
