Location: Colchester, Essex
Event: 14 October 2012
Report: Snowdon Sports
Darren Barclay (Arctic/SRAM) notched his first win of the Eastern League in round six held at St Helena School in Colchester, Essex.
The 39-year-old already has two wins from the London League under his belt but this was the first event in the Eastern League calendar that he had entered this year.
It was by no means an easy win for the Brighton-based rider as he was pushed all the way by Shaun Aldous (Iceni Velo) who finished just two seconds behind.
With no London event this weekend, the Eastern League managed to nick a few of their riders and it made for a strong field.
The course was mostly open grassland with two woodland sections and only one dismount. The top five started strongly and got away together until the number of breakaway riders was whittled down to three.
Then on the last couple of laps, Matt Holmes got left behind and it came down to Barclay and Aldous. But Darren powered out of last corner of the final lap to take the win.
Darren said: “There was no London League this week so I travelled up here. It’s a funny feeling because I’m probably not 100 percent but I’m in good condition and it shows if you’re not sharp and can still get away.
“I’m pleased with my form – I’m coming into the cross season in good shape, I crashed out last week and you’re only as good as your last race so I needed this to take me over to next week.
“I made a good start, the course was decent with enough technical stuff to have a rest but still challenging. It was a normal ride for me – racing from the front.
“It came down to the last lap and I got through the last technical part and just sprinted out. I’m not bad at the technical stuff but it’s not my forte.
“I knew half lap before the end where I wanted to be placed. I had a think about it, it was quite windy. So I just positioned myself and it worked.”
