Race Reports 2019

Holmfirth CC Road Race - Nat B

Coming back from a well-needed rest from racing, I was at Holmfirth CC roadrace.  It used to be a 2-day, 3 stage event which I never actually finished. Itwas always mega hard but I was back with vengeance today.

Crimson Performance RR - Nat B

The Old Hutton circuit is a tough day out; this race was 8 hilly laps around 120km.  It’s a tough man’s course and as a “tough man” I was well up for it.

Lancaster Grand Prix - Prem

Well this was without doubt the hardest Prem I’ve done.  Today was the day Idecided to try get into the break, my plan was get into the right move, hangon for like 4 laps, get my name out there and then bin it off.

Capernwray Road Race - Nat B

I’d been marshalling the UOSCC/B38 road race on saturday which was won by my teammate Archie Cross.  While it was a great event to support and help out in I didn’t get chance to do a prerace ride, so I was anticipating a little stiffness during the first lap

Pullar Coaching Road Race - Nat B

The Pullar Coaching road race was 6 laps totalling 120km on the very flat Cockerham circuit.  Cockerham is directly next to the coast and the wind was roaring giving some decidedly harsh racing conditions
