Club League race 5 - CP, Enfield Circuit: Hilltop Finish

Round 5 of the 2012 league took place on what was the hottest day of the year....temperatures hitting 30 degrees during the day, and dropping to 26 for the start of the race!!  Not much need for a warm-up in those conditions!!!!

The heat didn't seem to have much effect on two of the scratch group riders - Jacob Baldwin and Alan Maye - as they were in a class of their own tonight, and simply rode clear of the scratch group after they had caught semi-scratch on lap 2, and then group-4 (which was the largest of the groups) on the 3rd lap.  No one could close the gap and the dynamic-duo ploughed ahead to catch everyone else in front of them to take 1st and 2nd on the night on top of the (short, but very punishing) hill out of Rathcore village. 

Some of the limit and semi-limit groups had managed to stay away almost right to the very end, and were caught just on that last hill to the finish - great performances to stay clear for so long, but yet, so close to a win!!!

So, overall, it is very tight at the top of the league table now - Jacob's win tonight and Luke McVeigh's 17-points means that both are tied for first place with 79-points.  Luke misses the next race, and Jacob is scheduled to Marshal, so the Yellow Jersey will be worn by the great Peter Schweppe, following his 19-point placing tonight, putting him only one point behind the dual leaders.

Only a handful of points separates the next 3 riders, so there is all to play for in the final two races!!!

Below are the results for the night, and the league table can be found HERE.

Don't forget that EVERYONE MUST MARSHAL ONE RACE!!!  There are only 2 races left, so if you are not on the Rota, but are taking part in the races, please contact the club email address (clonardroadclub@yahoo.ie) as you risk having your highest points deducted if you fail to marshal - anyone under 16 years old obviously cannot marshal, but if your parents can lend a hand on the night, this will be fine, but please let us know so that we aren't short on the next night and then have too many marshals on the final night!
