Report: Snowdon Sports

Charging clear on the finishing climb, Tom Lowe (Kingsnorth International Wheelers) took the honours in Derby Mercury RC’s 50-mile Pedalpowermeters.com road race in Staffordshire.

Some 40 riders were still in contention coming to the foot of the 0.8-mile long haul to the line – 1 in 7 at its steepest – after four and a half laps of the Hanbury circuit in a race which began in snow and ended in sunshine.

As it all strung out 20-year-old Lowe, from Derby, had the measure of the rest to cross the line ahead of James Allen (Sheffrec CC) and Richard Binks (Clay Cross RT).

Results:

1 Thomas Lowe (Kingsnorth International Wheelers)
2 James Allen ( Sheffrec CC)
3 Richard Binks (Clay Cross RT)
4 Mark Lovatt (Planet X RT)
5 Matthew Nell (RM Cycling)
6 Blake Cowley (BC PM)
7 Robbie White (Birmingham University CC)
8 Shane Culpin (Witham Wheelers)
9 Mark Jacobi (Peak RC)
10 Jack Frisby (VC Rutland)
