Isuzu Ute Old Vale Circuit - 3 lap Handicap – 27/08/2022 – Presented by Clancy Motors Bathurst
Cathy Adams has taken an impressive solo win on the historic Old Vale Race Circuit today in Bathurst.
Adams started with Blue Mountains rider Kevin Bell and had to work hard early to catch Lara Allen and Rosemary Hastings, who were working well together in the race lead.
Back in the field, the 7min bunch of Chris Davis, Dave Claypole, Mick Foran, Darren Fenton and Nev Krahe where about to be joined by the 4minute Group of David Reece, Brian Draper, Tony Shaw and Dubbo club rider Graeme Peadon. This larger bunch posing a real threat to the leaders. Meanwhile the fast moving Scratch bunch of Jack Cannon Nicholas Barrett and Craig Hutton where making good gains on the whole field.
In the closing stages Cathy Adams surged away from the leaders with only Lara Allan able to chase. Adams taking the win from Allan with the scratch bunch bursting onto the scene with Jack Cannon leading out Nicholas Barrett for third place from old pro cyclist Graeme Peadon.
Sixth in the race went to Rosemary Hastings just ahead of Craig Hutton Tony Shaw Kevin Bell and Nev Krahe riding a strong race to finish in 10th Place.
The Top 15 made up of Brian Draper Darren Fenton Chris Davis Mick Foran and David Reece in front of the unlucky Dave Claypole who suffered mechanical difficulties.
