A proper ding dong battle took place down here on Saturday at the Apres Winter Series at Preston Park with – would you believe it Simon Brooks taking the honours.
![]() |
For anyone wishing to learn the dark arts of cycle racing this really is The Place to watch it all unfold… Standing in the covered stand here, we get to see the ebb and flow in it’s entirety and Simon again gave a masterclass.
Cagey, probing attacks from the start with an early break from a group of five hung out there for ten minutes before being joined by Simon Brooks with Starley Primals Jamie Caldwell clearly being the marked man. The lead group of nine lapped the bunch and had a breather. Apart from Mr Brooks who seems to relish the burn….oh and then he lapped again. The bunch was lead out by Brighton Mitres Ian Robins, Matthew Hutt from Abellio SFA again! taking second with BRC s Jonnie Blackman in third.
3rds
The thirds was also an aggressive affair with the London Dynamo boys Dan Thut, Simon Barnes and Jeremy Brougham again involved in everything along with Brighton Mitres Morgan Lewis made for involved racing.
However it all came back for the last few laps with Rob Fuller taking it on and stringing it out, Nile took it on from around the bend and showed his track knowledge, bike positioning and leg speed (on junior gearing) to hold on for the win from Dynamos Simon Barnes and Mitres Morgan Lewis.
4ths
Local Ian Monaghan, Brighton Mitre, went from the off hanging out for 20 minutes in a solo effort winning much praise and sore legs. Pulled back he rightly sat in and waited for the last lap where he went from 20th to 1st winning by a couple of lengths. Nice one.
U12/14/16
Young Matt Webber raced for the first time this season taking the honours from Georg Mew Jenson LVYCC and Wyndymillas Chris Jenkinson. We’re are having a good mix here in this age cat with LVYCC making a 150 mile weekly round trip. Good, safe, fast racing for all.
U8/10
Young Jack Webb from Chard Wheeler wins again! This time from a determined Crawley Wheelers Finley Dou.
