Archer Grand Prix Support Races

 

Sunday, April 15, 2007; Amersham

 

As always, prior to the big event, there were two support races held organised by the evergreen Doug Collins and his merry band of helpers, and the sun was shining already for these events as the two race fields rolled away at 8.15am for their two hour races up and over Gore hill at Amersham. British Cycling was there is capture some of the action before heading for the main race.

First race, Spring Road Road Race sets off and 3rd placed Martin Quill is already eager to get it on.

 

Thanks to the Marshals who enabled the race to be held on these busy roads.

 

Second race to set off was the 'Junior' Sprint Road Race.

 

Eventual winner Tim Bedingfield leads Iaine Payne up Gore Hill as the break splits.
