Round 5 Saturday 14th January 2017

Saturday provided the riders with a pretty grim day but at least the rain stopped prior to the start and it didn’t seem to deter the 53 lining up.

The 4th cat start was livened up by Jacob Law-Sales (VC Colets) who pulled hard from the start and was then followed by Sam Hodges (Pearson CC) and James Parkes (Army Cycling Union) but again it seemed no one was capable of breaking clear, although Sam Huckle (Twickenham CC) tried very hard towards the end of the 40 minutes plus 5 lap race.

A crash in the last corner disrupted things 15 minutes from the end of the race, thinning out the field and at the line Rowley Clifford (Brixton C.C.) held off well placed Huckle and Mark Aldred (Kingston Wheelers) for the win.

The Women started off fast for a small field probably because of Emma Lewis’s (Aprire HSS Hire) very early effort and she looked if she would stay away but for an unfortunate puncture. Gem Atkinson (Sigma Sport) followed this up with a number of laps away and consequently won the Look Mum No Hands! Dinner for Two Prime.

Under the pressure three escaped from the main group and were never going to be caught, staying away till the finish with Helen McKay (Les Filles RT) outsprinting her two breakaway companions Helen Ralston (Sigma Sport) and perhaps the strongest of them all Emma Lewis. McKay wins the Peloton Physio prize which will be lovingly administered by her team captain plus a Queen of the Mountains cap. 2nd place Ralston will collect LMNHs yummy burger.

In the Elite Race James Doyle, the son of a famous father Tony, lined up and was riding for his old club, Clarence Wheelers, along with 55 others. Also taking the start was 4th cat winner of rounds 1 and 2 Rupert Graham (Sigma Sport) sporting his new ‘Strider’ Ryder Eyewear.

From the start Charles Page (Cycle Team Onform) and Jon Shillingford (Thames Velo) slipped off the front, causing the main group to string out, until half distance this was the pattern of the race with Tom Hargreaves (Nunn Sigma Sport) and Steve James (High Wycombe CC) continuing to attack off the front.

Finally, James McCarthy (Twickenham CC) and Barnabas Purbrook (Nunn-Sigma Sport) managed to escape from the main bunch opening a gap. Ben McKie (VC Londres) and Tristan Grigalis (PMR Toachin House) saw the opportunity and bridged the gap.

This they did after several laps of hard work and the four then worked well together to the end extending to over a minute the main group seemed to ease off. Arlen Vartazarin (Regents Park Rouleurs) also saw the opportunity to escape and made a determined effort to close to the leading four, but did not quite make it but finished solo in fifth place.

Any one of the leading four could win the sprint, but in the end Grigalis was comfortably ahead of Mackie, McCarthy and Purbrook. Tom Hargreaves led the main field in in 6th place to consolidate his overall points position. James Leach of Imperial RT charted his steady improvement with a 7th place.
