West Down Wheelers hold successful pursuit series

32 riders signed on to take on this tough but enjoyable course,

The Rathfriland Hill is seen as the main challenge on this course and so it proved with all three gorups losing a rider or two.

The leaders with West Down Wheelers’ John Clyde, Dave Friz, and Allister made the most of their four minute handicap over the big A4 group with a few A2 riders in it.

It all came down to the straight to the finish line, with all three groups neck and neck but noone could catch the front group who were giving it everything.

John Clyde took a deserved win from Allister, with Dave Friz in third.

There was a good effort from Andrea and Dorothy who took on this race when some men opted out of it.

Last Saturday four riders from West Down Wheelers traveled down to Hillsborough to take part in the Tommy Given Memorial race.

Matt, Clive, Andy, and Karl all rode well in what was a tough circuit with Clive the pick of them this time, finishing well.
