Tom Hawkins

Tom Hawkins Road Race 5/4/09

Gary was the only cycle logic rider to make the trip up to Devon for this 50mile 2nd, 3rd and 4th category road race as the rest of the team were racing at the Lizard. A very strong field full of second category riders were at the start line, and the sun had just come out. The first real attacks soon came on the first big climb of the day and as they went over the top a group of 12 riders got away, Gary managed to get himself in this group. The group worked well together for the next 40miles to stay out from the peleton, and by the finish had built a lead of over 5 minutes. The finish line was at the top of the same climb where the race had spilt and Gary climbed well to finish a great 4th place.
