A fine but windy day in deepest darkest Essex was the location of the Eastern Region Road Race Championships, The race was hosted by VC Revolution, held in memory of Ken Wright (West Sussex Wheelers) in a nice gesture Ken’s grandson was a the race presenting the winners with prize’s.

The 83 mile race consisted of four 12 mile laps then five smaller laps around the Jock Wadley circuit all running around the wind swept Abberton Reservoir. Mark Vale (VC Revolution) lunched the first attack on lap one, then was joined by Joshua Aiken (Stowmaket & District) Wojciech Sziachta (Cambridge University) Joe Giggins (Pro Cycle Hire) and Andrew Hastings (Richardson Trek RT).

They quickly pulled out a 30 second gap over the peloton, by the next passage the break was coming back with Richardson Trek all over the front of the bunch, as the race made the transition on to the smaller circuit Lloyd Chapman (Richardson Trek RT) had a small lead over three chasers Dominic Schils (Zannata) Kieran Brady (Richardson Trek RT) along with team mate Owen Lake, with Edmond Bradbury (NFTO) pulling the bunch along.

Alongside the reservoir the bunch was splitting to pieces with Russell Hampton (Polypipe) bridging the gap to the break,then making the juncture to Chapman, by the next lap the pair had a 30second lead over a few small chase groups and the peloton that had now split into two, Hampton and Chapman increased their lead to 50seconds over the smaller bunch and the race ended in a two man sprint with Chapman coming out on top, and last years winner Hastings winning the sprint for third.

The race as a whole was controlled by a strong Richardson Trek team and in particular by Chapman who rode a stunner therefore securing the trophy for the team for consecutive years, just as well because they had left the trophy in the shop (Thats confidence for you) Edmond Bradbury (NFTO) rode a strong race but was marked out of the race and was always fighting a losing battle as a lone rider.
