Thetford Winter Series Rd3

WS3 was held at Mayday meadow (home of the Dusk til Dawn 12 hour race), on Sunday 24th.

Despite the snow before and after Christmas and the recent rains, the 6.5mile circuit was in pretty good condition. It was a very fast and twisty track, with plenty of bombholes and a fairly even mix of singltrack and fireroads.

As with round 2 , the results were mixed.

This time Chris Bray did not have such a good day, finishing 97th - 2hr(16-39), despite some very fast lap times and running as high as 24th (says he had to get home to cook Sunday lunch!).
Paul Bowden also suffered this time out, finishing 84th - 2hr(16-39).
Alec Robson rode well to get 28th - 2hr(40+),
and Stuart Judd got his series best so far, with 13th - 4hr(16-39).

Stuart Thomas also rode for the team this round, Stuart kindly stepped up to help us out at last years *Dusk til Dawn, and was happy to wear one of our jerseys for the remainder of the Winter Series. He rode to 56th - 2hr(40+).

Last round is in Tunstall forest near Woodbridge, Suffolk. Addenbrooke's have said they are coming along to support us, hope the rain stays away.

*Dusk til Dawn 2009 - 13th place Team 4 riders, Paul Bowden, Malcolm Gammons, Stuart Thomas and Dan (mate of malcs).
