50 Mile Race

Race Report

Yesterday morning the Caesarean Cycling Club held a 50 mile mass start race over a 12 lap circuit in the Gorey, St Catherine area. Winner of the event Don Ecobichon, who won by 43 seconds from J.Dods, an English competitor from London.
Three other English clubmen rode, D Lockley, M Castle and D Ryecroft, the latter having the misfortune to get a puncture, but after a quick change of his front tubular he made a gallant attempt to rejoin the leaders.
It was not until the third lap, durning the steep climb on the hill leading from the end of the pine walks to St Martins Main road that D Ecobichon and J Does pulled away from the remaining riders to build up a lead of just over one minute.
After five laps the club’s Junior riders were introduced into the event at just over one minute down on the leaders, but the fast moving trio of D Lidster, D Le Brocqand and K de la Haye were quick to close the gap.
Among the juniors a sprint finish developed between the powerful D Lidster and the small wiry D Le Brocq, but it was the latter’s try all the way tactics that won the day.
K de la Haye who filled third position, would do well to take a leaf out of D Le Brocq’s book and not give up trying when the going becomes hard.
