05.27 Whitsun Crotcher Road Race

The turnout tells the story.  Weather truly formidable with Gale Force winds which seemed to come from every direction except North, as the journey North along the 5 was truly quite fun.  Words can not adequately describe the conditions - so a big thank you to the Marshalls.

Division 1 and a minimalist Div 2 set off together.  Adam W managed to get away on Corbiere and to his credit stayed away for much of the race.  The others mostly stayed together while John du Feu and Jim spent much of the race in each others’ company.  The sprint made for an exciting finish with Ian Le Lai getting there first!  Chris Seviour was first in Div 2, followed by Mike M.

In Division 3 competition was fierce between Paul Lipscombe and Noel Hayden with Noel just crossing the line first.  Well done to Doc Snook on his first road race.  Peter and Mick spent much of the race together.. while Alex managed to fit in a tour of St Ouens.
