7th October - Maldon CC Road Race

This was Nick C's last race of the season and involved four laps of a 70Km circuit around Steeple, Maylandsea and Tillingham in Essex.
With one and a half laps to go he was brought down by a large group of riders crashing - his first crash all season. By the time he had picked myself up and dusted himself down the peloton was way ahead. He worked with an Ipswich rider named Adam Keer and raced on for pride crossing the finish line joint last .
This year Nick has taken part in 11 road races, completed nine and failed to finish in two. His best result was 18th and his worst was 28th. A pretty good first full season of road racing surely? However, Nick says " Back to the drawing board for some hard winter training ".
