Bournemouth Arrow Good Friday 10, A Win for James Copeland

“Pleased with the result, disappointed with the time” that was the reaction from James Copeland (Fareham Wheelers) after winning the Bournemouth Arrow Good Friday 10 at Ringwood. In fact his £75 winning time of 21:10 was a pretty rapid ride on a course that has no reputation for fast times.

Riding his first race of the season, Michael Ford (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) finished 7 seconds adrift of Copeland, Ford hit a pothole loosening his bars and developing a “noisy” front wheel but was offering no excuses. Andy Langdown (Blazing Saddles) showed little signs of the virus that had kept him off the bike for a week, taking third place, 4 seconds ahead of last year’s winner Matt Burden (Severn RC).

Scratchman in a full field of 120, Paul Jones (Primera TeamJobs), failed to trouble the timekeeper after suffering a “bad stomach” while warming up. The bright spring sunshine was welcome but the headwind return from the Woolpack Inn blunted the speed of most.
