 The last meeting of the Crits for this summer with Conditions that were fantastic with 21 riders turning up across 4 grades as follows.

A grade; Chris Gartery, Lee Stevens, Ken Ridley. Matt Benson & Colby Jachmann 60 sec handicap. Gartery drove the A grade limit bunch hard & stayed away from Benson & Colby. Only just! Benson 30m behind in the finish.

B grade; Mick Gary, Lee Rasheed, Dennis Robinson  & Derek Martinson. Tight racing in this grade, as the duration of the race went on Robinson was the first to drop. A good sprint finish saw the speed of Martinson too good for the Rash.

C grade; Sue Lahainer, Elle Hollamby, Peter Graves all had a 1/2 lap head start over the rest of the field which included Gordon Pipe, Glen O'brien, Angelo Ylia, Ruth Strout. The 4 scratch riders in C grade worked hard together to chase down the 3 riders.  Hollamby the first victim finished the race on her own. With Graves & Lahainer next at the 10 minute mark. That left Pipe, Obrien, Strout & Ylia to fight it out for the win! A great sprint unfolded, with young Pipe showing an awesome turn of speed, after doing much of the pace setting in his grade to take the win.

D grade; New member Clayton Bond came out for his first ride on a club loan bike. Tracey Benson, Josh Ridley, Tyler Stevens & Gordon Lawton. Well Tracey Benson took off at the start & that was the last the group saw of her! She rode a fantastic TT & easily accounted for her opponents to take the victory. The rest of the bunch rode well together & stayed together for the duration of the race until the sprint.
