Lincs League Round 6 08, Alvingham













Alvingham was the setting for round 6 of the league and was the 1st opportunity for Velosport/GCM to host a round of the Lincolnshire League. Fielding most of the team for their 'Home' event it was a dry but windy evening as the 52 riders set off from the start. It was apparent from the start that the scratch riders couldn't organise the chase so off went Ben to try and chase down the groups ahead, however it was a short lived attempt as both Steve Marrows and Julien Grommett closed down every attack Ben made until Steve finally got away taking Velosport/GCM rider and former teammate Stu Axcell with him. Together the pair forged ahead in pursuit of the peleton until they caught and passed them and then in a show of respect for each other the pair crossed the line together! Race officials gave the win to Steve Marrows with Stu 2nd. A great result on a demanding evening!
