LVRC Broadheath RR

Take a bow Mr Nick Yarworth. Another fine win for the Epic (just for fun) Team ;-) The LVRC, Wyre Forest club organised RR’s at Broadheath was the scene of the latest victory. Nick was riding in the C&D class, disappointed by the slow start of the race, after half a lap he attacked and the race winning break was formed as 4 riders pulled away and were not seen again by the bunch until everyone returned to the race HQ for a post race cuppa.

Starting just before Nick in the A&B race I stayed near the front and a half lap in, I saw Conor O’Brien, Solihull CC attack. He was the rider that broke away with Peter Georgi at the Tour of the Abbs last week :-) Trapped on the inside I then see ex Pro Ian Fagan move up and go. I too attacked as Fagan rides straight past Conor, I reach Conor and thought, in for a penny in for a £1, past I go and have only 2 bike lengths to close, I call Conor through but the bunch had been shocked into life and Mr Fagan just kept on going faster and away :-( Like a bully taking candy from the younger kids he was gone with such ease !! He solo’ed to a 2.5 min win :-) A bunch sprint arrived and I managed 6th or 7th overall, pleased but I know it could of been a little better ;-)

No time to dwell as Nick comes to the finish in a now 3 up break and his commanding figure powers away, not knowing the impressive gap he had opened up, he manages a one handed victory salute :-) :-) Over heard comments from the 4th member of that break that got shelled, everyone was left with the impression that the pace had been hard and fast,  CHAPEAU Nick :-)

Again some nice comments about our club which was nice to hear ;-)
