(*) First ride -handicap will be set at 4:21 for the rest of the series.

The showers during the day cleared up well before the race, leaving a pleasant sunny evening.

While Becky, Rob Shipman and Steve didn't make the start with various injuries, Aussie Dave James let nothing stand in his way as he scorched around the course to win by exactly a minute from teammate Jim Morris. In the process, the pair set the two fastest (evening) times on the course so far this year.

Fastest Plomesgate rider was Pete in 3rd place, giving the tandem a night off and laying down his marker for the vet's competition, where it already looks like he'll be hard to beat. Jim managed to stay on course this time out and now has a commanding lead in the chase for the handicap trophy, while Mark H also set a new PB on his new bike. (Yes, it's finally arrived!)

Bev was top woman on the night, just ahead of Julie, racing clipless for the first time, but Viv keeps her lead in that trophy-chase.

Surprise of the night was Matt, who took some good scalps on his first outing, and may well have an influence on some of the competitions as the season progresses.

Timekeepers and Pushers: Richard Tateson, Hilary Graham.
