Report: Wessex CX League Round 9

Sunday 19th November | by Graham Robins 

There were wins for Adrian Lansley (PedalOn) and Helen Pattinson (Hargroves Ridley Montezuma’s) at the latest round of this season league. Whilst Lansley led his race from the start Pattinson had to wait a couple of laps before rising to the front, a lead she was never to relinquish.

Our hosts today were Fareham Wheelers who returned to the Motor Cross track just north of Southampton for the second time this year. There were a couple of tweaks made to the course from the earlier race in the season, and these changes were welcomed by riders. The course had drained from the overnight rain and when racing got underway mid morning the sun had come out making for a pleasant day’s racing.

Right from the start in the senior race Lansley came to the front on the twisty infield section before riders made their way out on to the far side of the course and a lung busting climb followed by a roller coaster downhill before entering back into in infield for some more twisty back and forth. The PedalOn rider already had a four second lead over team mate Sam Allen before the first climb with a youthful Chris Rothwell just a couple of seconds further back.

After the first full lap Lansley had a six second lead over Allen with Rothwell still very much in contention. Alex Forrester (Zepnat.com) was pushing hard but unable to close the gap but managing to stay clear of a trio of riders, Michael Guilford (VC Meudon), Tom Budden (Sotonia CC) and Tom Sewell (Cotswold Veldrijden) all thirty seconds back.
On the second lap Rothwell managed to get past Allen but Lansley was already extending his lead. Coming through the field quickly was Barney Clacy (Hargroves Ridley Montezuma’s) and soon he had Forrester’s back wheel in view. There was a little tussle behind with a trio of riders Budden, Joe Hickerton (BPC Spokes Racing) and Sewell covered by just a second.

At the mid race distance Lansley had a lead of 38secs over Rothwell; Allen was at 51secs whilst Budden, Clacy and Lee Rutland (ACU) were down at 1min 48secs. As the final couple of laps ticked away there were no significant change to the order just time gaps extending. Then on the final lap as the positions were secured Rothwell saw his front wheel washout from underneath him which allowed Allen to pass and never look back.

A full squad of Hargroves Ridley Montezuma return to league duties following last week’s National trophy racing and soon the red and yellow squad filled the first four places on the opening lap. Abbie Manley making her customary quick start led the charge into in infield followed by Amy Perryman, Helen Pattinson and Katie Scott. Making a fast start and well within the top ten was India Lee now riding for the Hargroves team and she quickly dispatched riders on each lap.

The second lap saw changes throughout the race with Pattinson taking the lead towards the end of the lap, Sarah Barber (North Hants RC) and Claire Smith (Cotswold Veldrijden) rolled through along with Lee to within striking distance of Manley. On the fourth lap with Pattinson nearly a minute up Lee had finally dispatched with Manley who was then passed by Barber, Guest and Smith demoting the young rider to sixth place just ahead of Perryman and Scott. This order remained until the chequered flag with Pattinson winning and holding to her lead on the final lap and even managed to add a couple of seconds on her victory lap.

The vet 50+ race was comprehensively won by Owen Pattinson (Owens Cycles) although he had to come through the front row of the grid to take the lead. The Petersfield rider quickly dispatched the GS Vecchi pair of Kevin Holloway and Tim Costello as he found the course to his liking and his mountain biking skills. Having spent the week cutting the grass and putting up the course at the venue Mike Williams of the promoting club was steady in fourth, Phillip Boarer (GS Vecchi) was fifth and Malcolm Cross (VC Venta) sixth.

Dan Guest (Cotswold Veldrijden) made light work of the slippery course but he had to first shake off junior Barney Clacy (Hargroves Ridley Montezuma’s) and Paul Lloyd before he could see the chequered flag, which he did but it was close in the end. The three leaders had just a handful of second between them on the opening couple of laps as Clacy set the pace followed by Lloyd and then Guest. Jay Allen (PedalOn) was a distant fourth whilst Liam Sewell (Cotswold Veldrijden) had a pair of Hargroves riders Harry Dridge and Joel Hawkins for company.

On the third of seven laps Guest started to ease away from Lloyd although he was having trouble dispatching Clacy as the young Southampton junior was stuck to his wheel. The two leaders swapped places on different parts of the course whilst Lloyd stayed in contention only eleven seconds adrift and ready to pounce if there was an opportunity.

On the last lap Guest made one more push but Clacy was undeterred and stayed with him almost to the line only missing out by less than a second on the line. Lloyd had dropped more than a minute on the final lap and took the final place on the podium. Jay Allen and Joel Hawkins filled the podium along with Clacy whilst William McDonald (Banjo Cycles) completed the veteran podium.
