Cherry Valley Team make top 10

Lincoln Wheelers 10 - 20/05/2006 - C10/28 - Ingham, Lincoln

As the rain poured on the riders and temperatures reached a heady 12C, 40 riders faced a 10 mile course running along the ‘middle street’ from Ingham top to Harpswell roundabout and back again, just North of Lincoln. The course, which undulates slightly and has a rough road surface for most of its length, is not noted for being a quick course, so no rapid times were expected as the wind blew a gale across the exposed course making it difficult riding conditions for the race.

Highest placed Cherry Valley rider was Andy Lintin who is now showing some good form as he posted the third best time of the day of 22.34 only 40 seconds slower than the winner from VC Lincoln, John Greed. Both Sam and Aaron rode and Aaron showed he is still making a fine comeback with a solid ride in 9th place and a time of 23.24. Aaron narrowly beat his elder brother Sam who has obviously being suffering from the excesses of University and had picked up a cold the previous day but still rode and finished 10th with a time of 23.46 ensuring all three Cherry Valley starters finished in the top 10.
