TMG Horizon Cycling Team and Verulam CC joined forces to put on their first LVRC race which was held at Hog Hill on the 7th September using the lower circuit.

Fortunately, although there was a keen westerly wind, the afternoon stayed dry and bright. Race 1 saw some early skirmishes but it was not long before Bob Downs and Dominique Gabellini broke clear building a healthy advantage.
A chase group formed between these two and the bunch comprising Keeler/Schils/ Cackett who seemed to be working together well although they split up towards the end.
Unfortunately Gabellini touched a pedal which caused him to fall heavily resulting in a trip to A&E with a suspected broken collar bone. Downs continued on alone lapping the field twice before taking a well deserved win.
The Race 2 report could have almost have been written before the start with Anthony Wallis soloing to victory although the strengthening wind perhaps stopped him from gaining more than 30 seconds.
The TMG duo of Neil Wass and Michael Skipsey responded to his initial acceleration and did all they could to bring him back but, despite a recent layoff due to injury, Wallis remains a force to be reckoned with.
The peloton stayed together until the last few laps when the combination of a modest field, strong wind and high pace took its toll. Having cleverly conserved resources in the closing laps, Robin Parker took the sprint for second ahead of Neil Wass.
Thanks to Pete Wilson and Knocker Shields for their help with the day.
