RIDERS endured foggy conditions for round six of the Winter Aggregate Race Series at Learmonth on Sunday, 24 July.<\/p>\n
Light entries saw the field split into just three groups for the 45-kilometre handicap on the Mount Ercildoune circuit.<\/p>\n
Setting off with a mark of 19 minutes, Renee Clapham, Geoff Edwards and Dennis Shaw had newfound confidence with the welcome fire power of Danny Whelan.<\/p>\n
The quartet rode off into the mist… and weren\u2019t seen again!<\/p>\n
The next group – Stu Brien, Tony Mirabella, Darryn Reed and Dean Wells – went off at five minutes.<\/p>\n
Scratch was the smallest group of the day with Ash Braszell, Jason Hendry and Dayne Pearce joining forces in this round of the W.A.R.S.<\/p>\n
Edwards won his maiden handicap with Eureka after attacking the limit riders with just 800 metres remaining – racing away to a comfortable 75-metre victory.<\/p>\n
Shaw and Whelan fought out the minor placings, with Clapham a brave fourth and just ahead of the fast-finishing five-minute group.<\/p>\n
