30th March 2009

This weekend Boneshakersbikes.com cycle racing team had riders competing in the Philip Russell Road Race and Circuit of the Dales Time Trial.

The Philip Russell RR held on the Seamer circuit near Stokesley over 115km. The race winning move was started by a lone attack from Matt Mannakee after 25 miles and he was joined by 7 other riders 5 miles later to form the leading break, these riders worked together for 45 miles. It looked like the winner would come from this group but they were caught by another 6 riders with just 8 miles to the finish. Phil Axe (Sharrow RC) attacked with 6 miles to go and took an impressive solo win, Matt Mannakee was placed 9th.

In the Circuit of the Dales a very tough mountain time trial which has been run over the last 60 years. The race is held on the roads around Hawes, taking in Kirby Lonsdale, Sedburgh and Newby Head over a grueling 48.5 miles. Steve Smales was an impressive 11th in his first race of the season, his time was 2hrs08min52secs and Glen Turnbull took 25th 2hrs16min30secs.

Over the Easter Weekend, the team has 5 riders in the Tour of the Border 4-day stage race in Northumberland. The stages take in some of the hardest climbs including the Gibbet and they will cover over 250miles in the four days of racing!
