An excellent evenings racing with fine weather and a massive attendance of senior riders.

George Olive with a fine finishing burst from 200m out was too quick for Tony Gibb in the opening 10 lap scratch for A riders. Tony made amends in the Devil and then took the 10 lap Block Handicap from Lewis Atkins and fast improving Phil Lisher.

Andrew Elderfield took the opening Group B 10 lap scratch plus the points race which gained him the pleasure of promotion to the A group for the next few weeks along with Laurie Bone who has been consistently notching up points in the Senior B group.

The senior 10 mile was run at a frantic but steady pace until 5 riders escaped with 7 laps to go – this was reduced to three - Tony Gibb, Lewis Atkins, Digby Symons - with 5 to go. Symons lost contact and was swallowed up by the bunch leaving Tony Gibb to win alone with Lewis Atkins a worthy second while George Olive took the bunch sprint for 3rd place – winning time was 21.03.

In the youth races Ben Bailey cleaned up in Youth A while Ryan Owens did the same in Youth B. First timer Ed Ballan (West Suffolk Whs) showed remarkable speed in the Youth C events battling it out with a plethora of local Welwyn riders.
