Matt Sinclair Wins Melton 10 in 20.02

Not to disappoint Matt destroyed the opposition by over 30 seconds in ideal conditions in a time of 20.02. Craig Twigg having had yet another complete weeks lay off completed a great comeback ride after his recent loss of form due to his iron man exploits with a time of 20.47 to finish fourth only 5 seconds behind the third place man James Coleman and second place rider James Perkins in 20.36. Ever green I ride veteran Geoff Platts was fifth in 21.01.
Andy Green took to the roads of Northampton in the Kettering 18.4 mile event to finish in fifth place in a time of  42.55 only 51 seconds behind event winner and favourite Sam Barker of Planet X. Andy who punctured with 2 miles to the finish soldiered on to complete the course and undoutably lost a lot of time possibly costing him a win in the event.
Sunday 8th May saw Matt and Ian Wrobleski once again competing in the Norland 30 mile event. Good conditions were once again the order of the day with a win for Matt doubling up for the weekend for the first time this year in a time of 1:02:49 for a 50 second win over second place man Jim Moffatt of Virgin Active. Ian finished in a great time of 1:07:36 for seventh place.

Just a note guys with a long season left we really could do with getting teams of three into these events, we are giving team prizes away for fun. Please contact either myself or post on here to tie up with other team members for any up and coming events.
