Report – Bournemouth Arrow Easter 10
(thanks to Eamonn Deane – photos here)
Gary Dighton (Primera-sport.com) & Gregg Parker (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) shared the spoils in the Bournemouth Arrow Easter 10, both clocking 22:00 on the Ringwood-Sopley course.
It was Dighton’s fourth open win of the year but his first ever dead heat. Wareham-based Dighton had won two club 10’s midweek and clearly loves to race. Parker had been less competitive having just returned from eight days touring in Provence, though he did admit to doing a few hill repeats on Mont Ventoux.
Paul Jones (Primera -Sports.com) came third 17 seconds down. The lack of a third Primera rider saw the promoting club win the team award courtesy of Brendan Reese, Mark Hardwicke & Gary Cure.
Jo-Anne McRae (Look Mum no Hands) was first lady with 28:06. Emulating his dad, Luke Dighton (Poole Wheelers) won the junior prize with 29.21. The P311 out & back, chases the river down the Stour valley before turning at the Woolpack Inn, with a light northerly made the trip home a little harder. It was no “float†but the bright sunshine was perhaps, a sign of things to come.
