Bronze for Hulbert in Nationals

Martin Hulbert finished a fine 3rd in the Veterans National Road Race champs for over 50's on saturday. A strong field competed the 60 mile race held near Rugby (up north somewhere)
Here's Martin's race report ......

In my usual way I soft attacked as soon as the neutralised section was over! this soon came back.
After half a lap and just before the main climb, i sneaked away with another guy and we went well for another lap on our own and was later joined by a group of 7. The nine of us worked well and put over 15 minutes into what was left of the bunch. There was no efforts to break up the group of 9 until i put a serious attack on the main climb, a group of 3 riders came across to me after a few miles and then the bunch after another few miles.

I attacked again on the next steep climb and John French and Gary Hill joined me. With 3 in front we gave it all and fought out the sprint finish between us.

John French 1st
Gary Hill 2nd
Martin Hulbert 3rd
