The unstoppable Giles finishes off the way he started with a win, to clinch the series in a bunch sprint. He went clear on the uphill finish on the Kirby Hill circuit. At the start of the first lap, 2 riders went  clear almost from the gun, chasing the prime on lap 2. Marc Help took the prime with John Mcpherson in 2^nd. The pair decided to keep going, building a lead of over 1 minute from the chasers behind. Group 2 worked hard to cross over to group 1 by lap 3, leaving the scratch group a couple of minutes down. By lap 4 the 2 escapees were caught, with attacks coming from the scratch group, with the Crosstrax team and Chris Clarke well in the chase. By the last lap with 5 miles to go, they were all together. The off circuit finish on an uphill narrow lane, provided the strongmen with a perfect finish.

Crosstrax placing 4 riders in the top ten. Team Chevin only one, Trevor Larcombe, who passed Dave Goodall on the climb to take the over 50’s prize.

The “Team Shield” was a surprise win for Crosstrax, bringing in a full squad for the last race in the series. The most unluckiest team were race series sponsor, Team Chevin, who lost 5 riders to punctures on the night, due to a hedge cutting tractor on the course, splaying thorns onto the road. The sheep on the road didn’t help much either  !!

Clifton cc, last years team winners finished on an unlucky 13 points.

Giles Pidcock, overall winner for the 4^th time, a 100% record in the 3 years the series has been running.  WELL DONE GILES.

Steve Whitehurst, 2^nd overall, first time in the top three and the first Chevin rider to make the top 3.

New comer, Callum Sewell, finishing 3^rd in his first series. He had a good 2^nd on Milby in his first race, then followed it up by a win on Bishopwood, to surprise everyone.

The category winners were: 1^st junior…Callum Sewell, with a 3^rd place overall, with big sister Iona,  with some gutsy rides finishing 1^st Lady.  Over 60 Malcolm Robinson, retaining his title of last year, a seasoned rider of LVRC events.

The over 50’s was the closest it’s been, between Trevor Larcombe and Dave Goodall, with Trevor coming out on top.

The over 40’s went to Carl Saint, one of the most rated riders in Yorkshire.

Thomas Warren, 14, Archie Cross and Luke Simpson, just some of the younger riders who rode some of the series and who all faired well. If only we had a few more of these youngsters, we could have a great little group to compete in their own right.

A big Thank You to all who rode the series and the riders who marshalled.

A great big thank you to Russell Brown of the Yorkshire Road club who designed and runs the website for the series, a very good job done Russell.

Also a big, big Thank you to Peter  Mason and Jane Ramsdale who turn out to help with the lead car, line judging and marshalling, without them we would not manage.

A big thank you to the Redcross, who had a couple of spills to deal with this year, but nothing too serious thankfully.  They are also unpaid volunteers who turn up and follow the riders round.

And last but not least, a big thank you goes to Chevin Cycles who have sponsored the last 2 series, providing prizes for the race winners on the night, and who I am reliably informed will be supporting the series in 2009. Thank You for your support, we really appreciate it.

We will be putting on 8 events next year, watch this space for the dates,t imes and circuits.

Also, if there is anybody interested in joining  the gang who look after the series or anyone who wants to know more, then please get in touch  with Cliff on 07790726884.

We need volunteers to cover for holidays.   See you all again next year.
