The final race of this seasons Hampshire Road Race League took place on Sunday. From September to the end of June the league Races cover all corners of the county and some 104 competitive miles between them.
Team IWRR crossed The Solent for the early 8.30 start outside the Ordinance Survey Building, just north of Southampton to complete their bidding for the year. 3 of those having taken part in every single one of the 12 events.
A single lap course of mainly road saw our Roadrunners rocket around the Industrial Estate before heading up toward Lee Manor Farm and back through Nursling before heading back to where they started.
First home was Ross Wilkes in yes! you’ve guessed it, YET ANOTHER PB! Hugely chuffed to finish in 17th place overall, Ross has completed his season in the league as he started… with maximum effort as part of #team12
Next in was David Blake in a speedy 40 minutes, despite having time to give us one of his legendary photo poses.
Garry Sharp completed the first men’s team, with #team12 member Kev Rann not far behind him. James Shoulder had a great run to finish in just over 50 mins with the 2 George’s finishing together.
The girls came in next with Abigail Keyte leading them home making it across the line in just under 52 minutes and Sarah Sharp in just over 55. The final member (and only female) of #team12, Bridget Keyte completed her season next with Tracey Houdoire completing the batting for the 2019 season.
