Report: Ciclos Uno LVRC ‘Last Of The Summer Wine’ Series 2011

The third event in the Ciclos Uno Last of the Summer Wine Series was held at the Redbridge Cycling Centre on Sunday 11 September and there were a total of 48 riders on the start line for the two age related races. The races were run on the lower circuit over 1 hour plus 5 laps for the ABC&D categories 1 hour plus 3 laps for the EF&G categories.

The race for Categories A/B/C/D (40-59yrs) attracted 35 starters and after 20 minutes of racing Antony Wallis (Private) broke clear of the main bunch and soon built up a lead of 15 seconds. There were many attempts to pull him back but only one rider Rob Windsor (ELV), the current Category ‘B’ National Champion, managed to bridge the gap. The pair then worked together increasing their lead to over one minute at the finish. Antony Wallis for the second week running was first over the finish line with Rob Windsor again in second place with Ian Watson (Finchley) third.

In the Category E/F/G/H (60yrs plus) race there were 13 starters and halfway through the race the main bunch was reduced to six riders who stayed together until the finish when Chris Gunter (Virgin Active) new to ‘E’ Category racing at Hog Hill outsprinted another newcomer in ‘F’ Category Geoff Wiles (San Fairy Ann) with Terry Devine (Ciclos Uno) in third place.

The next event in the series will be held on Sunday 18 September starting at 10.00 a.m.
