Sainsbury’s School Games – Sheffield

Harriet Dodd

Our young cyclist Harriet Dodd has been off on her travels once again, this time representing the South Region at the Sainsbury’s School Games in Sheffield.

Over 200 cyclists from across the UK gathered with hundreds of athletes to compete in the Olympic style event, which also held the traditional opening and closing ceremonies.

Friday saw them compete in fast, short street sprints and crits, Saturday was the turn of individual and team time trials and Sunday was the turn of the road race (40km for girls and 60km for boys) in testing conditions of wind and rain.

Harriet performed well finishing 3rd in her sprint and 6th in the team time trial.

The South region were placed 11th overall, a great weekend’s racing by all.

Swindon RC – Road Race

Sunday the 25th was the Swindon Road Club Cotswold Road Race had a full field of 60 riders from an original entry of over 140.  The 2/3/4 category race also incorporated a round of the Cotswold Cycle Racing League  (this was the 6th of 7 rounds).

The race left Brinkworth House in cool and overcast conditions with a slight drizzle falling.  Thankfully the drizzle fizzled and the roads dried out making for generally good racing conditions.  The peloton stayed together until the second time up Callow Hill when the race split and a group of seven riders gained a gap of around 40 seconds, a second group of about nine riders followed, then the remains of the peloton some 30 seconds further behind.

By the final lap the 2 front groups had merged and at the bell they had a 60 second advantage over the chasing peloton.  Over the final lap the peloton reeled in the large front group and a single peloton approached Callow Hill for the final time and a leg-busting sprint up this short but testing climb.

Dan Marks emerged from the group and gained about a three bike length advantage by the time he crossed the finish line.  Tim Turrini-Rochford and Michael Serafin contested a sprint for 2nd place with Tim narrowly clinching it.  Lee Davis was clear in 4th position with the remaining riders crossing the line in a steady stream.

For SRAMcc who entered 5 riders, only 2 were chosen for the final 60, Liam Walsh and Joe Henstridge, Liam fell ill before the race so SRAMcc was represented by Joe, who rode strong within the pack, helping to bring back the break on the final lap and managed to finish 27th out of 60 riders. A solid performance ready for the upcoming Tour of Tidworth 3 day event.
