Medal for Martin in National Champs

Martin Hulbert won the Bronze medal on Sunday in the LVRC National Vets Road Race Championships

Race Report:
Nearly 60 "C" category vets (over 50) lined up for the 10am start

I just did a soft attack on first lap of 6 to see if they were awake! 4 others joined me and that was the race winning move.
(Reminded me of Dunsfold the other week, flat out for 50 odd miles in the wind and echelon's, so this practice came in useful )

The race was interrupted by three tractors towing great big trailers of hay, the break probably coping better with this, the lead car eventually stopped the break on commissaires orders to allow the bunch to catch back up. There was complaints from the break when we were told they would give us 30 seconds gap on the race re-start, when of course we thought the gap was much more.

Anyway we stayed away, last time up the finish hill all 5 of us were together, 2 dropping back on the climb and I was assured of a medal, could not match the other 2 in sprint though. No shame in loosing to Simon Day & Phil Thomas, both ex professional riders of the ANC Halfords team.

Bob Moore also did an excellent ride to get second in the bunch finish for 7th overall position.
