Old guys get confused and lose touch
A smaller but feistier bunch meant a tough workout for regular Vets crit’ers John McDowall and Del Evans.
A touch of wheels early in the race brought down two riders and the ensuing confusion left both North Roaders detached from the bunch. John was able to tag on to a hard working duo who managed to reconnect with the main bunch. Sadly, Del was gapped and also had to take a lap out for a mechanical.
A fast, strung out race meant little opportunity for a ‘undercooked’ John so he settled for a big effort in the final sprint to the line and with six riders already away he came mid way up what remained of a thinned bunch.
