N&DCA Round 5 of 9 - 10/6/17
11 club riders were at the N&DCA Sawtry N1/15 today. The course goes North and turns round at the Stilton roundabout (I think it used to go the other way but was changed when the roundabout further South became a lot busier). Today the course was slow with a strong Southerly wind plus a there has been lot of chip-resurfacing work over the last couple of years.
Gareth had a sick ride, clocking 35:23 for 6th place - unfortunately he hadn't clocked exactly how the course was laid out and ended up with very little warm up. To cap it all he was attacked during the event by a bird having to unclip to alleviate the beast and also he was actually sick during the race, bad luck Gareth but a great ride all the same!
The event was won by Paul Pardoe of Peterborough CC in a time of 33:22 and CCA picked up 2nd team losing to Peterborough.
Ashwell results as follows (total of 64 riders):
6th Gareth D - 35:23
10th Jason S - 35:41 (7th X-Cat)
12th Mark C - 36:07
17th Jackie F - 36:48 (First Lady and X-Cat)
22nd Brendan R -36:55
24th James M -37:08 (First Y-Cat)
34th Emma K -39:37 (2nd Lady)
41st Noah F 40:52 (1st Junior)
42nd Stuart F 40:55 (X-Cat not sure)
45th Janet B 41:18 (4th Lady)
48th Richard G - 42:20 (4th Z-Cat)
Well done everyone

Gareth had all that happen to him and still got that time - brilliant. Saw him arrive at the line just in time.
I think the bird got caught out by the wind as well.
Sorry we didn't have time to stop and say high at the end.
