We have had a few NEV members representing the club in local races.
Dan Palmer has raced brilliantly all season so far, capped off with a fantastic win in the Ken Wright 4ths at the weekend to comfortably secure his 3rd category licence. We'll let Dan off for not yet racing in NEV kit but he timed his final sprint perfectly to win by a photo finish at the Gateway Circuit in Colchester. Earlier in the spring, Dan rode with Carl Chart in the March Hare Classic open 3/4 event at Lee Valley and looked very strong in a full 60 rider field. Dan and Carl avoided multiple crashes in difficult conditions, with Carl finishing just outside the points in 12th and Dan in 19th
Dan Price and Carl also rode in the Ken Wright 3rds at the weekend, unfortunately both picking up a DNF owing to a huge crash mid-way through the race. Both will live to ride another day.
Riding with teammates in these competitive events is fun and does give you an edge. If anyone is interested to find out more, just give any one of the guys a shout. It would be great to see more NEV jerseys in competitive fields at the sharp end of cycling.
A brilliant write up by Carl who is nursing a few injuries at the minute , although it's about time we got Dan in the pink and grey !!
Well done
Team NEV
Rest up Carl, and just keep spinning people
