MK Bowl 30th April & Andy Morrison mem race Sat 2nd May
4 Riders at last weeks Thursday night Bowl racing. Richard Law who entered the E/1/2 race & Carmelo, Wil & myself all in the 3/4 race.
Wil got a bit of a shock and got dropped after a few laps (more training & racing before the Primavera!!). Carmelo & myself had a few digs in the first half hour, but to no avail. The gates opened for the second half & that broke the field up even further. The pace was high and kept the pack strung out, but together. This led to a high speed last lap. My legs started to fade a little and I dropped to the back of the 15-20 riders left. Carmelo contested the final sprint & picked up 9th.
1 hour + 5 laps av speed 24.8mph.
We waited for the E/1/2 to finish where Richard came over the line in about 12/13th place.
Sat 2nd May saw the Andy Morrison Mem race (2/3/4 category) over at Cranfield. 19 laps of a 2.2 mile circuit. Down a hill, up a long drag, across a short section to 'close' the triangle. Richard, Phil keen & myself were at this one & a bloke called Ashley from BRCC. Very fast pace from the start with a 4-5 man break from lap 1. The bunch caught and after 5-6 laps the pace settled a little. Phil got dropped on about the 2nd lap up the long drag.
One rider from MK got away with about 5 laps to go and stayed away. The rest of the reamaining pack (20-25 riders) contested the sprint for the other places. Richard came about 12th I rolled in about 20th. Average speed was 25mph for 42miles.
Legs felt a bit tired for the rest of the weekend.
Richard was going to ride the 'High Easter' ECCA race on the Sunday & milbrrok race on the Monday - I don't have any results for him.
Carmelo was going to ride the 'High Easter' ECCA race on the Sunday - I don't know how he faired.
