Title: Blackpool nocturne
Post by: toekneep on 01 August, 2009, 11:23:25 pm
Great night tonight. Quite a big crowd, in addition to the stag and hen parties. The elite race was really exciting. Cronshaw made a herculean effort to bridge a huge gap and join the front six riders, it must have taken him five or six laps I think. He then entered the final lap with a couple of seconds on the lead group but finally lost to Ed Clancy in a great sprint finish. All rounded off with a really nice ride home assisted by a stiff tail wind. Drinking beer now, happy days.
