Sunny Sunday .....

4/11/2011

Early start on Sunday morning for me, it was my 1st road race where my commissaire training was to begin - The 'Paramount CRT Stan Jones Cycles Road Race. Mike Jackson came to pick me up at 7.00am which in itself was quite comical as he went to the wrong house and knocked someone else up as I casually walked to his car and said "Morning Mike", as he was still knocking up the 'unknown' - the look on his face was a picture. We drove on up to High Ercall, and to the village hall which was the race HQ. Get a quick cup of tea and start the important tasks of going through the race licenses, the first aid car, the marshalls and any other problems the organiser may have before socialising with the riders in the 'Start Village' - nice to local faces Craig, Olly & John from the Wheelers, and fellow MC ltd director Rich Smith (Wrekin Sport) with the embrocation out warming up ready for the off. I was assistant in the chief comms car and was in charge of radio communication, timing gaps, note taking, blowing a whistle out the car window, waving a flag and many other tasks, I can understand while the race seems to be over in 5 mins ! Anyhow a good fast race on a nice flat course, average speed 25mph, loads of sun and very few incidents - cautioning riders for riding over the solid white line, a couple of flats and a broken cleat. A very interesting day, and a pleasure to see it from the 'other side' of the sport

Nice to see MC ltd friend Dave Perry out and about at various locations on the course taking pictures again, credit goes to him for the above picture, and more of his work from this event can be found on the link below ....
