Folks,
See below for brief report on todays race. There's a little local bias because it's what was sent to the P&J. Full result will follow asap.
Hope you all enjoyed the race and no-one got sunburned!
BTW - Phil Brown, I've got your licence. Drop me an email and we'll sort something out.
Round 5 of the Scottish Power Renewables Super 6 Road Race series took place in Aberdeen on Saturday 4th July 09. The event, starting in Westhill just outside Aberdeen, took place in blazing sunshine with little wind and temperatures reaching 24oC. As in the previous Super 6 Rounds there were 2 races out on the roads at the same.
The B race was held over 4 laps of a fast 10 mile circuit through Dunecht, Echt and Garlogie. With the course having long flat straights and only a relatively small amount of climbing it was expected to be a fast affair favouring the sprinters. Throughout the race the 60 rider bunch maintained a high pace and although there were various attempts to break clear the bunch wasn’t letting anyone get away. Promoting club, Deeside Thistle, had a number of riders active in the bunch but couldn’t manage to get a decisive break through. In the end it came down to a bunch sprint won by Graham Doig (Moray Firth CC) closely followed by Graeme Cockburn (Glasgow Nightingale) and Michael Martin (East Kilbride RC). All finishing in a time of 1:35:39.
Highest place local riders were Brian Duncan (Deeside Thistle CC) in 8th place and Ian Brown (also Deeside Thistle CC) in 10th.
The ladies competition was won by Claire Thomas (Edinburgh RC) who finished well up in the main bunch in a time of 1:35:43. 2nd woman was Sarah Gleave (Glasgow Nightingale) some 14secs back and 3rd was Fiona Duncan (Sandy Wallace Cycles) @ 12:48.
The A race was held over a challenging 65 mile course over 2 laps of the Tough, Muir of Fowlis, Kintocher, Learney circuit. An early break of 5 riders built up a lead of 2 mins. Various counter attacks failed to bridge the gap. However, when the race had hit the 10mile finishing circuit Gary Hand (Endura Racing) and Phil Brown (Velo Ecosse) jumped clear and started to close the gap. In a display of superbly strong riding Hand and Brown bridged the 2min gap and on the uphill finish Hand powered clear to claim a brilliant win in a time of 2:39:19. 2nd was Robin Wilkins (Stirling BC) (same time) and 3rd was Craig Adams (Falkirk BC) at 5 sec.
Highest place local rider was Ali Watt (Granite City Road Team) finishing in 11th place @ 2:34. A special mention must go to Discovery Junior Cycling Club for a clean sweep of the Junior competition which saw James Smith, Matthew Hamilton and Andrew Leith take the Junior 1,2,3 and all finish in the main bunch at 2:34 from the winner.

Well done Duncan and your team, it all went like clockwork and the weather was superb. Thats two trips to the NE this month and between yourself and Isobel you've come up trumps with the events and the weather.
