Jane with her Master’s Jersey and gold medal.
Before whizzing off for cycling holiday in France Jayne won the women’s National Masters Closed Circuit championship held on 13th June at the Minet Park track. Jayne was contesting the title in the Women’s E+ category.
Jayne said “All the age groups were together and that only brought us up to about 25 women. There was only me and Debbie Moore who won the Masters RR in my age group (50+) so I had been told there wouldn’t be medals for us. This was a bit piqueing but then I thought hey ho I’ll rip it up a bit and have some fun.”
“There were a few attacks, some of which I went with, but they came to nothing. I launched an attack on my own, and to be honest, after 4 laps out I was very happy to be caught. Nothing much happened after that, or if it did I was too knackered to notice!”
“With one lap to go it all got a bit stressful and I only managed to wriggle out of my box in the push up the sharp little hill.
I think I came 5th or 6th overall which I was pleased with considering the riders. Most importantly I sent Debbie back to Dallas and the commissaires gave me a gold medal and a jersey anyway which I think was out of pity for being such a try-hard!”
