Another fine win for Andy Moore

Scunthorpe RC 25 - 05/05/2005 - C25/19

Andy Moore recorded another fine win and Andy Lintin finished in 4th place with Sam Tuplin close behind in 8th spot in the Scunthorpe 25 on Sunday June 5th over a sporting course in North Lincolnshire.

Although the day was cool, there was little wind on this sporting course which started at Riby cross roads, headed North to Barnetby top roundabout junction with the A180, then returned to Laceby roundabout before retracing the first section of the course back past Riby cross roads to finish at Keelby. The course used the A18 road from Grimsby to Scunthorpe and is not renowned for being a quick one with much of the road taking in many undulations and some of them quite steep especially climbing to Barnetby top roundabout.

With the course being such a sporting one, it made Andy Moores winning ride even more impressive as he recorded 56 minutes for the 25 miles which was a massive 2 minutes clear of his nearest rival in second place. Meanwhile, whilst Andy was on an obvious flyer, team mate Andy Lintin was struggling to find his time trialling legs again. With Andy Lintin now working long hours at work as the summer nights draw out, Andy is now starting to feel tired which is now effecting his racing. With all the commitments of work, Andy Lintin still recorded a time of 1 hour for the 25 miles which was still good enough for an eventual superb 4th place overall.

Meanwhile Sam Tuplin is continuing his return to form now he is back from University and although he didnt enjoy the course, Sam still recorded a good time on a sporting course to finish in the top 10 placings in 8th position. Sam described his ride as 'hard and it felt like every simgle direction was into the wind'.
