Oswestry Paragon CC 2-Up
It
was a close call in round 2 of the Hawk Plant 2-Up Series with first place
taken by a slim seven second difference at Queen's Head - with the Nova Raiders
pairing of Richard Nickless and Ed
Middleton tasting victory in the Oswestry Paragon CC 10 mile event. More known
for their leanings towards challenge rides, the club have come out of left
field to surprise many, stopping the watch with an excellent effort of 23
minutes 15 seconds to see off a strong challenge from Wrekinsport's Delwyn
Jones and Steve Elcocks.
An elated Nickless commented: "We
were presented with a testing mix of conditions with the wind and rolling road
proving a challenge on our first attempt at the Oswestry course. Strong effort
was needed over the first three miles as the road surface and breeze made for a
difficult start. However Ed and I are half of the Nova 4-Up 'A' team and
regularly train together, so we were very well synchronised". Partner
Ed Middleton added: "Taking account of Rich's flying start to the
season I knew the pressure was going to be on me and I would be pushed to my
limits. It wasn't a pretty race, however being our first 2-Up we did OK"!
It was an intriguing mismatch
between Jones and Elcocks, with Jones having managed to find far more time for
training putting in a huge effort at the front to finish in 23:22 .
Elcocks explained: "I did manage to do two turns on the front! My legs
feel like lead, all I could do was keep watching Delwyn's legs going up and
down and before I knew it we were at the finish. Maybe if I could have done a
few more turns on the front and helped out a bit we may have even won, but all
in all a pleasing start to the 2-Up Series".
But 4th placed Steve York and Ian
Wedge had an unlucky race and were affected by two stops. With the pedestrian
crossing at Gobowen unusually occupied this forced a 15 second hold up, whilst
in Whittington they had to pull up hard on a fast part of the course with a
lorry turning off the A495 blocking their path. These losses saw their time as
they crossed the line down to 24:31.
With 17 teams testing themselves in
this format four squads featured Junior riders, with Nick Vose and 16 year-old Morgan
Hill Wales Shropshire
Wheelers' pairing of Martin Whyatt and Adam Aitken by 27 seconds.
The Series lead is split on times,
with the North Shropshire Wheelers' pairing of Mark Musgrove and Tom Garbett
holding that time advantage over Nickless and Middleton at the top of the table.

Wrekinsport CC Hanna Phipps-Jones 19
Richard
Nickless extended his lead at the top of the standings in round 6 of the Parker
International Series, Wrekinsport's Hanna Phipps-Jones 19 mile event at Long
Lane - but he didn't have things all his own way. Nickless' attention was on
North Shropshire Wheelers' Tom Garbett, with the youngster laying in second
place overall. Needing to put daylight between himself and fast-improving
Junior, the Nova Raider did just that with a great effort of 44 minutes 56
seconds to grab 3rd spot on the evening, whilst Garbett settled for 6th on the
day whilst incresing a huge advantage at the top of the Junior Parker Series.
This added six points to the difference, with Nickless now having a 14 point
advantage, and the battle in future rounds is likely to be a fascinating one.
Exactly a minute ahead of Nickless,
Steve York helped himself to 20 points and moved into the Top 10, having the
advantage of Garbett as a carrot at the end of the first lap. But York
There was a change in the Veterans'
Series with Nigel Keyworth's ride of 45:56 for 5th spot on the night helped him
overtake Oswestry's Neil Coles. Coles just made the Top 10 with a good effort
of 47:44, but has an on-fire Steve York breathing down his neck just two points
behind.
Wrekinsport incorporated the Hanna
Phipps-Jones Handicap within the race, and it was an all female line-up taking
the prizes. Amanda Whitmore just snaffled the Gold by 12 seconds ahead of Vicki
Bale with an adjusted 38:41, whilst new club member Helen Imrie was buzzing
after her first attempt above 10 miles gained her the Bronze medal with a fine
adjusted 39:15. Bale and Whitmore also consolidated their 1st and 3rd places in
the Parker Ladies Series on the strength of these rides of 54:53 and 52:41
respectively whilst the lady in overall 2nd Tracey Billington was delighted
with a personal best 56:11. But it was Emma Dobson who took the win for the
Ladies on the night with a superb ride of 51:16 - good enough for 20th place
overall amongst a field of 39 riders.
