Race report by Dave Kennett
Raced the Redhill promoted LVRC (Vets Race) on the Crowhurst circuit yesterday, 9 laps of a flat circuit. Keith Lea (former ACC member) attacked from the start gaining a short lead that was policed by 3 or so GS Vecchi riders with the rest of the peleton happy to ride tempo. Things remained the same until Keith was finally brought back after a couple of laps solo – no one willing or able to join him. Then after 3 laps I attacked up the drag on Crowhurst Road opening a gap and taking Philip Boarer from Blazing Saddles with me, after a short while we were also joined by Colin Roshier and started to work well and open a gap on the GS Vecchi lead peleton. I believe 4 of the GS Vecchi guys then attacked off the front of the peleton dragging Keith with them and bridged across to us at the front. With 4 guys from the same team the last 2 laps were quite hard as they attacked and forced us to chase, elastic finally snapping just before the finish, with them managing a win in both the 45-49 and 50-54 categories, Keith placed 2nd ,and I was 3rd in the 45-49 category.
