North Down Take Glory at the Loup -Ted McKibbin Seriously Injured
Spires CC had everything in place today for what should have been a great day’s racing. With barriers at the finish line, lots of marshalls, motorbike outriders, lead cars, an ambulance and a first aid car, the club had left nothing to chance for their first ever open race promotion.
There was a full field for both the A race for A1-A3 riders and the B event for A4 riders.
The Masters and Women event was combined today and there twenty five riders lined up. Unfortunately the roads were very ‘greasy’ with unlderying salt and although the riders were warned at the start of each race it did not prevent a few minor spills in both the A and B events.… Read more
