teamwallis-CHH Cycling Team

Early start to get up to Lazonby for the 6th CDNW Race, we had a number of riders in each event. The 3/4 race started quite slow, so Martin and Gareth ventured to the front to stirrup things. This meant the pace was high, and the breaks started with Jack, Chid and James involved. The winning move went, and the break started to gain time. Grant and Gareth sat tight incase it came back. On the last lap it split up slightly and James moved away, Jack bridged across, using quite a bit to get on. The result was a great first and third for the team, with James now a 2nd Cat.

A great weekend's racing for teamwallis-CHH.

On his 18th birthday, Lewis got 14th in the Eddie Soens classic, part of a legendary group of juniors who set off at a blistering pace and caught the Elite riders who never had chance to make up the lap they had lost - a real turn-up!

The same day, Steve got 12th in the National B race at the Paramount race in Shrewsbury, Andy Mc finishing in the bunch in the Regional B race.
