Sally Smith and Rob Kennison rode in velo colours at the crits in the park on Saturday.
Unlike Medway Velo the organising club decided not to run one womens race but two, although Sally rode well in her first women’s road race of the season to finish 7th in the E/1/2 Women’s race.
Rob rode in the final event of the day the 2/3/4 race which was run off at a blistering pace. Rob held on in the pack, taking the opportunity to move up when he could, and although he was balked by a crash on the final lap which split the field Rob finished well and afterwards commented that he was “Happy to survive in a very fast race where younger men were getting spat out the back, also happy to avoid crashing on the last corner”.
Rob, ready for the off
Well done Sally and Rob.
