FORD CC DUNTON SERIES (1)

On an overcast, windy evening 24 riders took the start with EFGH riders given a half lap lead. Both groups stayed together for 4 laps when the junction was made. The first prime was taken by Matt Steel from a still compact bunch. The first break was made by Mark Cain and Jamie Bishop and they manged to get a 20sec lead but after three lap they were all together and then Matt Holmes attacked on his own to take the second prime. He maintained his effort over the next 6 laps and took the win with a 1-30 lead over Matt Steel who had escaped the bunch on the last lap. Paul Spicely took the bunch sprint for 3^rd place with Martin Meades being the first EFGH rider in 10^th place.

Ron Day Memorial – MK Bowl (1)

The sun was ordered and it didn’t disappoint for the race tonight. A great turn out with 36 riders split into two races staying inside the bowl for 30 mins, then going out the top gates for the remainder of the race. It was really great to see everyone after the long winter and a huge welcome to all our new BMCR MK Bowl riders tonight.

Some fast and safe racing with an early break in the ABCD race led by the Gavin Howell train staying away with Gavin leaving the group to take the lone win and new rider to the BMCR bowl Richard Wigginswining the bunch sprint. The EFGH race also split into two groups with the win going to James Stewart. Well done to all our winners and the Prime winners Mike Jackson and James Stewart too.

Huge thank you to all our marshals and helpers tonight, I couldn’t run the races without you and I appreciate your support.

GS Vecchi “Bovington Bomber”

With a huge thanks to Robert Cranstone and the GS Vecchi team for organising this event.

A game of two halves…..this morning’s race saw the youngsters As, Bs, Cs and Ds strutting their stuff. A slightly chilly and breezy start saw the ABs set off with a 5 minute start over the CDs. Although the racing in the ABs was vigorous the CD race was really kicking off, Rowan Horner (VC st Raphael) put in a ‘massive attack’ taking Richard Unwin (GS Vecchi) with him. The two caught and passed the AB race and then Rowan pressed on as Richard was caught by the (now) ABCD bunch. The race split back into CD and AB groups with Rowan maintaining a comfortable (not that he looked it!) lead to the finish. Paul Dring (Echelon) clipped off the front on the last lap to take second and brother Steve (also Echelon) just held off a fast finishing John Wager (GS Vecchi) for third.

And so to the second half…..The sun was out, blue sky and a warm wind, arm and leg warmers consigned to the bottom of kit bags until the autumn! The race started with a flurry of attacks which were all chased down until Tim Costello (GS Vecchi) put in a stinging attack towards the end of lap 1. Tim started to disappear and then Mark Bremner (VC Meudon) set off in pursuit. The bunch the held the gap for a couple of laps until Paul James (Destination Bike RT) and Steve Blake (Plymouth Corinthians) gave chase, eventually the chasers caught Tim and Mark to contest the finish. Meanwhile the bunch continued to lose riders in an attritional but forlorn chase.

Coming to the finish the leaders sprinted out the E category with Paul James beating Steve Blake and Tim Costello for the win. In the bunch Trevor Bradbury (Python RT) out sprinted Rob Cranstone (GS Vecchi) and Vince Ellis (Schils Doltcini RT). In the G race, Bob Ford (Cycleworks VitecFire Ford CE Trek) took the spoils from Malcolm Freeman (GS Vecchi) and Brian Burgess (GS Vecchi). And finally honourable mention to our two women racers, Lucia Borradaile (CC Weymouth) and Angela Simpson (PDQ Property Elite) with both finishing a tough event.
