Report – Colne Valley Mudbath, by Clare Crabtree
Nick Barnes took his second win in the 2013 Pedalsport YCCA Summer CycloCross series with a convincing performance, finishing well clear of his nearest rival Jack Clarkson.
The day began with the event in some doubt after recent heavy rain, but organiser Andy Whitworth was given the go-ahead by the school before noon and after a few tweaks to the course, to avoid some of the muddier sections, it was all systems go.
Over 90 riders lined up for the Over-14 race in pouring rain and failing light. A group of three quickly formed at the head of the race, Barnes, Clarkson and Ian Taylor, who showed their class as they pulled out a large lead from Mike Young, Matt Denby, Andy Peace and Matt Worton.
At the halfway point of the race Barnes showed his hand and pulled out a twenty second lead over Clarkson and Taylor. Neither rider was able to respond and Barnes went on to win by twenty seven seconds. Clarkson left it till the second to last lap to pull out a small advantage over Taylor to claim second.
A similar story was taking place further down with Peace and Young battling for fourth, with Peace also making a move on the second to last lap to seal it in his favour.
In the women’s race Amira Mellor had a very strong ride into 25th and took her third win of the series with Rebecca Womersley in second.
Earlier, in the Under 14 race Thomas Nelson took his third win in the series, but did not have it all his own way with Mason Hollyman and Euan Cameron both grabbing the lead early on. But by the last lap Nelson was in control and overhauled Cameron for the win. Cameron then slipped chain coming into the finish which dropped him down to third.
