Iain Hibbert continued to improve in his return to cycling by taking 8th place in Sunday's Mid Suffolk Road Race, held as part of the Eastern Road Race League. The Stowmarket & District CC promotion, which attracted a full field of 60 3rd and 4th category riders, was held over 7 laps of a testing circuit near Somersham, covering 48 miles.

Although a strong headwind on the flatter part of the circuit meant that any breakaway was doomed to fail, Iain rode strongly near the front of the bunch over the main hill ensuring that any splits were covered. As expected, however, the race concluded with a bunch sprint up and over the top of the main hill on the course. Looking for a top-three position Iain crested the hill in 4th place, but faded in the final 100 metres to cross the line in 8th, 2 seconds behind race winner Matt Badell of CC Luton.

Between the start at a few minutes past nine to the finish at around twelve forty five a brisk South-Westerly wind increased in speed to over twenty miles an hour, making for three and three quarter hours of very hard work indeed. Grovelling at 20mph between Lackford and Cavenham then flying at over 40mph from Risby to Flempton.

Circuit Racing at Norwich Airport

There is room for more riders in all categories in the criteriums at Norwich Airport Park & Ride. The 600 yard circuit is proving excellent – it is good for riders new to road racing because it’s eight corners every 60-70 seconds are an education, and it’s good for top riders because the strong and the skilful don’t find lesser rivals hanging on for long.
