LVRC Road Race
Dave Birch was in action again on Sunday, alongside LVRC National Champion, Phil Rayner. They rode the Lincoln Ridge LVRC road race near Long Bennington.
Phil attacked throughout the 54 mile race for riders aged 40-50 and took a well deserved 2nd place. Rayner got away in a break which stayed clear for 2 of the 6 laps, however they were caught by the bunch, then with 2kms left Rayner and two fellow riders attacked and got clear of the bunch, with Rayner taking 2nd in the sprint.
Dave Birch raced over 36 miles. Les West went away at about half way and the rest of the field stayed as a bunch. Birch stayed well clear of a hectic bunch finish on a very narrow road.
