Roland Tilley (Ridebike.co.uk), grabbed 2nd in the Swindon RC LVRC Road Race, despite sickness in the days before the race. Tilley had been suffering from an upset stomach in the week, that saw him lose over a kilo in weight. The undulating 46 mile course at Little Somerford produced an attacking race that eventually saw a group of three go clear, chasing a lone leader. Tilley bridged across and the four worked well to distance the bunch and reel in the leader. The small group of five stayed away to contest the finale on Callow Hill, Nick Abrahams proved the stronger, pulling out 3 bike lengths on Tilley. Simon Williams (Hillingdon RC) took third place.
Tilley is really mixing his racing up. He rode the Bournemouth track league last week and will be off road next week in the Southern XC Championships.
