Halifax Imps LVRC Road Races 2013


Imps Road Race & Monday Mountain Biking

A disappointing end to todays Imps LVRC Road Race when, one and a half hours into the 44 mile event being held on the Norland Circuit, just as the racing was reaching its climax, a crash in the bunch of the 40 to 50 age section, believed caused by debris in the road, resulted in all the races being abandoned.
Our boys, Damian, Mel, Peeps, Grimpy and Brian were all still in the mix but, alas, we will never know what may have been. Organizer Sean Smith thanks Condors, Simon (ably assisted by Adam), Pete Smith, Steve Cavell, Richard Burnham and myself for assistance marshaling the event. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to those injured.

At 6.30 tomorrow evening (Monday 22nd) a few of us are meeting at the bottom of Huddersfield Road in Brighouse for a mountain bike ride followed by the odd pint at the Rooster.  This will be a social ride rather than training.
