Lakes RC Rider Kev Chadwick scored a brilliant first place at the Hoddom TLI Road Race, in Annan, promoted by Hoddom Velo and run under TLI Racing regulations.

A quick update from the man himself:

“On Sunday 28th April I travelled over the border to Annan for the ‘Hoddom TLI RR’

I competed in the 40-54 age group race.

Feeling good I made several attempts on the opening 2 laps to force a breakaway but nothing was sticking. On the 3rd and final lap I decided to wait until nearer the finish.

After the final climb and approaching the last corner I jumped early about 900m out and managed to get enough of a gap to hold off the pursuing bunch and take the win.

Fellow Lakes RC riders Derek Leggett and John McMinn rode in the 55+ race on a course with a tough climb both rode well to finish with the remainder of the bunch, positions tbc.”
