Dave Peck Memorial Road Race
Alistair Cowe
In its eleventh year this year, this event is held in memory of Dave Peck who died in a cycling accident in 2011. The event has been held every year since then barring 2020 and 2021 due to COVID.
Dave was not only a very popular Chairman for Twickenham CC but was an avid supporter of road racing and particularly this event. We at Twickenham CC are pleased to continue to run this event in his honour.
A show of Shier Strength....
Ruth Shier crosses the line to the win in the first solo victory that the Dave Peck memorial RR has seen in 11 years.
With just over 6 minutes on the bunch as she crossed the finish line for the final time. A dominant performance by Ruth who was ably supported by a full team from Hutchinson-Brother UK with 3 team mates in the top 10 securing the team prize as well. The podium was completed by Ruth's team mate Lydia Watts, who took the bunch sprint for second and Emily Proud in 3rd for Le Col RT.
In a day of unusual events for this race, the conditions were wet but the bunch was keen to get started with the first race of the Team Cup. The pace was high from the start with a range of attacks throughout the first few laps. However nothing was sticking until just over halfway through the race.
After a slew of attacks from the bunch, Ruth launched her attack exciting the spectators at the finish line with 5 laps to go. Impressively she kept pushing on to build to a 30 second lead at 6 to go. The iconic U Turn in the middle of this course meant the following bunch didn’t realise that Ruth had got away! Her team behind effectively disrupting any effort by the bunch to chase her down or bridge. The gap to the bunch continued to grow to 3mins with 3 laps to go and finally to 6 minutes by the chequered flag.
