Richie “Gripper “Grant opened his account with a brave ride at the:

Beacon Wheelers (NLTTA Spoco)(Lowther Circuit)(Charity Event)

The weather  in North Cumbria was sunny with little wind but extremely cold with the  temperature hovering around -3.

The Lowther Loop,is a sporting  time trial course,  and saw riders complete a 14.9-mile circuit around the Cumbrian countryside.

Riders started and finished near Newtown before heading out to Askham and then south through Helton, Bampton and Rosgill before joining the A6 back north to the finish

Richie said “It was a tough one and the most technical course I’ve ever done. The course was down windy lanes and with corners which would catch people out. There was also a kicker of a climb to get the legs burning.

Richie finished  56th with a time of 45:47 and average speed 19.527 mph out of a field of 69.
