The first ever CDNW Women's Road Race League - Pimbo

Sunday was a great day for the whole Maxgear Race Team at the first round of CDNW - Pimbo. In all the three races; the women's race and men's E/1/2 and 3/4 races, Maxgear were a dominant force showing some solid teamwork!
In the E/1/2 race Jake Ragan and Dillon Byrne were in an early break with Rapha and finished 2nd and 4th.
In the mens race the guys made an epic effort to bring back a break of two, narrowly missing out on catching them by a few metres with Wayne Greenhalgh finishing 4th.

In our race, part of the first ever CDNW Women's Road Races series, the girls worked extremely well as a team, attacking in the early stages until Jo Blakeley got away and stayed away for more than half the race. Her lead extended to over 28 seconds on the bunch, but unfortunately the long straights on the course meant that she was never out of sight and was dragged back with just two laps to go. Eve and Frankie then lead out Lauryn for the sprint, who finished 2nd, narrowly missing out on the win. Lauryn and Jo also won the primes! A big thank you to Heather Bamforth for making these races happen.
