Davidson, One from One

First time starter George Davidson had a day to remember when he took out Tinwald Cycling Club’s, 50km handicap event around the roads of Rakaia on Sunday.

The victory saw him lift the John Cleary Memorial trophy.

Davidson and his co-markers would have been well aware of a large group of riders cutting into there lead over the concluding stages but dug deep to cross the line with 25 seconds to spare.

Matt Ward having his first start of the season sprinted strongly to secure second place.

Matt Marshall continued his stellar season with a hard fought third place.

The evergreen Paul Williams was in the thick of the finish to claim fourth position.

John Holdem led the chasing bunch in to take fifth place with Gareth Lewis rounding out a great ride in sixth.

Scratch marker Kyle Gray rode the course in 72.47 to lift fastest time honours.

Co-markers Tony Ward and Larry Neal secured second and third time respectively.  

The juniors and division 2 contested a 15km handicap event.

Kaidyn Broomhall who continues to go from strength to strength, had a top ride to record the victory.

Charlotte Neal was right on his tail in second place.

Zoe Spillane filled the final podium position, covering the distance in 26.43 to also record the fastest time.

Zac Brookland was hot on her tail in fourth position.

Division 2 spoils went to Kerry Clough from Kenny Johnston, and Brian Ellis.

Next week the Club will contest a graded scratch race over 48km around the Wakanui Beach block.
