"One Day in Dorset" Start List & Preview.


Pedal Heaven Colbornes RT will look to control the “One Day in Dorset” race on Saturday 24th May. In form Robert McCarthy will be supported by Dave Creeggan, Chris McNamara, Francis Cade, Robert Moore and young climber Mitch Webber. Looking to stop Pedal Heaven dominating the 97 mile race will be a four man KTM road and trail.com squad led by Dave Clarke and backed by Jack Adams, Michael Mottram & Anthony Moye, all four rode the recent Wilton GP and will be up for the fight.
Grant Bayton and his Ride 24/7 team have specifically targeted this race and are expecting to return home to Somerset with a good share of the prize fund. Bayton also rode the Wilton GP and just missed the decisive split. Ben Stockdale, Rhys Lloyd & Will Bjergfelt (Metaltek Kuota RT) may lack numbers but not class. Spirit Bikes, led by Chris Dredge have entered a six man team that includes guest rider, Slovakian Josef Metelca. BH-Solidor-WAM Youth also field a guest in the shape of Greek U23 Time Trial champion Ioannis Spanopoulos, the 21 year old rode the U23 Tour of Flanders and Le Cote Picardie this year. Leading a young Catford CC EQUIPE/Banks team are Harry Franklin & Lawrence Carpenter. Other names that catch the eye include Elliot Porter (Rapha Condor JLT), Glyndwr Griffiths (Artic Tacx RT), Al Murison (Bikeshed UEX), Douglas Coleman (CC Luton, Ben Sumner & Richard Cartland (Southdowns Bikes)

Depart 10:00am
Ben Davis (BH-Solidor-WAM Youth) did a course Recce for his team and had this to say “This is a tough course!! There is nowhere to hide. The Last lap climb (Milton Abbas) is particularly tough and even the "flat" bits aren't really that flat and the course is in excellent condition. The course will guarantee the strongest man wins. I hoping to give the local supporters someone to cheer on being originally from Dorset".

“Local Riders, Local Races” takes a trip round the course
From the headquarters at Milborne St Andrew the course heads north-east on the A354.Taking the second left in Winterborne Whitechurch, the minor road is flat through the villages of Winterborne Clenston & Winterborne Stickland. One mile through Stickland, at Hedge End, a left turn starts the first climb of Bulbarrow, this three mile; “big ring” drag will do no more than offer good views as it gradually climbs the hill. Through the finish line for the first time at 9.9 miles, the descent to Ansty is uncomplicated; the left hand turn at the bottom will require attention though. A fast, rolling lane returns to Milborne and the A354. Again to Whitechurch but this time the first left at the Milton Arms starts a five mile ascent. The finger signpost at the public house says “6” but relax, it is only five. Like Hedge End, this long rise is never too steep with most staying in the 53. However, the hill is exposed and if the wind blows, an attack on the steepest section above Milton Abbas could do some damage. The climb from Whitechurch is tackled twice before the race hits the six lap,9.6 mile finishing circuit. The historic village of Milton Abbas will provide the backdrop as the battle unfolds. Thirty six,identical, whitewashed thatched cottages stand to attention either side of the road, only a church, the old almshouses & the Hambro Arms interrupt the parade. The road rises through the village but it is only when the houses are behind that the tarmac starts to rear up. Under the trees is where it really hurts before emerging to meet the now familiar Whitechurch road, still three miles from the summit.
