  • Thanks carmelo /helpers that was wicked!! Real lucky with the weather aswell.

  • cheers Carmelo, lovely day for a spin! Thanks to all the marshalls and everybody who helped out, great race with a couple of CCA riders finishing well in the top ten. Nice one Theo (4th) and Ellis (9th)! I was too busy working on my tan lines to win it this time, but when I'm nicely bronzed I'll be all over this race...
  • Thanks Carmelo, all the marshalls, support cars and those providing the tea, cake and support! Great to see a full field and so many blue shirts. Unfortunately, after just a couple of laps I had a mechanical...my legs packed up. I need to find some cat 4, 15 mile, flat road races! Fantastic result for Theo and Ellis - well done lads.

  • Confused!! Didn't think I had finished outside the top 60?? Lol
  • neil, i think you came in 34th... that was just down as an ashwell finisher, my number didn't appear on the list at all but i think i was a bit further up than that... i might be wrong though
  • Yea that's around what I was expecting mate cheers, I didn't think I had 60 in front of me lol
  • Prob didn't help that my number was hanging off!!

    I located myself in just the one place, then shifted to the finish line, plus some shots of the prize giving.
  • Hi all,

    I have just reviewed the video that Jack Darts managed to take. After editing out Jon's head I have managed to sort Will and Neil out.

    Will you came in 26th. Everyone below you drops down one place. Neil if that was you with the number flapping then you were 35th where we had Will down. A tip for you in future - if your number is flapping like that you will almost certainly not get placed. Take spare pins with you and put a couple of extra ones in.

    Those of you new to road racing, don't get used to being placed if you are not in the top 10. Most judging teams at this level without photo finish or transponders will only get the top 10. It's only because I had a top team with me that we got you all.

    Mark.
  • Thanks Mark, yea I didn't think we would get results that far down to be honest.
    I had an issue with a gel a couple of laps in and ended up with the number flapping about!
    Thanks again everyone
  • That's awesome Tim. Mark amazing you were able to do that with such a huge bunch!
  • Just reviewed the Prime Sprints as well. The second and third were incredibly tight but we called the third right. Even playing the video 5 or 6 times I can't separate Theo and James Bevan on the second one. I reckon Bevan deserved it for going for all 3 and still coming second! Plus as the hosting club I felt it right to award it to the visitor.
  • cheers Mark, look forward to checking out the pics too.
  • Thanks to all who helped out, great event, great organisation and great weather.
  • yes another great event, thanks to all who helped out and rode, you all the did the club proud.
    especially carmello who does all the organisation and gets all the hassle

  • The last time i saw something that well organised was the Olympic Road Race, top job. Support cars and bikes aplenty. Carmelo, to do a 50 TT yesterday and you told me what state you were in, then be up early to get all this sorted, you nutter!
    Nice one Theo to get 4th, saw you working hard near the front when you passed me. And everyone else who pedalled hard, pat on the back.
    Unless you want a report in the paper by me explaining how difficult it was to find a spot of sun in between the clouds, or how a Biplane then a Spitfire from the nearby airfield helped pass the morning, can someone else suggest some words to describe what happened!
  • Fantastic job by Carmelo again for putting so in much work and making this race happen.
    With the warm sun, marshalling was a very pleasant couple of hours spent watching the race and bit of the air-show too!

    I can't write a report on the event, but think that if anyone does, it would be a good idea to strongly emphasise and thank the patience and courtesy shown by drivers inconvenienced by the race. We need to keep the public on our side in order to race safely on open roads and this would be an good opportunity to help do so.
  • Thanks Carmelo as always, great job.

    Also fantastic to see so many CCA riders up there and competing. It was only a few years ago when we struggled to get anyone to the finish so lovely to see the standard of riding both in terms of speed and safety go significantly upwards.

    Well done to all.
  • Love the shot of Ellis getting his congratulatory hug from Kiki Dee

  • Hello - I'd like to ask Tim/DevineComedy/PatAgonia's permission to submit this pic the Cycling Weekly in their results page. Could they give me a nod if poss? We need to be quick...

  • Email timfisher46@gmail.com, he just came back to me immediately about getting a photo for the paper.
  • Great pics! Fantastic colours (especially the blues).

    So from my point of view the race went pretty well, I managed to maintain my position near the front for most of the race, branching across a couple of gaps to attempted breakaways every now and again too. I was concentrating on trying to keep Tony Purnell's wheel (the guy who won the Fl
  • Next time, if you don't mind, ride past, one at a time and I can then ensure I get everyone's picture.
    Smile!
    Huge 36mb file sizes means the camera in effect, freezes up whilst buffering the images so there is a limit to what I can manage to take.
