Riders and spectators were again treated with mild, dry conditions & little wind at the Preston Park velodrome for the second round of the Apres Winter League 2
![]() |
In the main event of the day, there were hopeful attacks firstly by Graham Collins (Ipswich Bicycle Club) and also Simon Brooks (VC St.Raphael), after which an inevitable bunch finish seemed likely. Redhill CC had the numbers & the question was would Ryan Visser (Redhill CC) grab the sprint win?
George Fox (45RC) led the group into the final lap, holding on until the penultimate bend, only to be passed by Simon Brooks & Ryan Visser. Brooks took the inside line & the win, holding off Visser who ran out of track.
There was also an impressive win for Zak Corum-Haines (VC Jubilee) in the 3rd Cat race, who despite riding with dispensation on Youth gearing, managed to time his assault to perfection & hold off a rampaging bunch.
There were also wins for James Mapley (Southdowns Velo) in the 4ths giving him a 3rd Category license and Sean Warner, Isaac Wright, Abby Old & Daniel Allpress in the Youth races.
Racing returns at the same time at Preston Park next week, with prizes & free Apres – The Hot Recovery Drink all round!
