A dissappointing number of entries and only 1 helper tonight,but we were so lucky that the race was dry after a huge thunderstorm and biblical rain only a couple of hours before.

A small ABCD race quickly became a Gavin Howell train for many laps, the group worked hard but Gavin left them, powering away to catch them for a lap up on their last lap, winning on the bunch bell lap in the group but went round again (for fun) to win again (organisers headache 🤣 bell? or flag?).

The EFGHW event had a few attacks from Steve James only to be brought back, finishing with a bunch sprint that Steve won.

Congratulations to our winners and thank you to everyone who came out to ride and support tonight. Thank you to our helper Michael Darcy who gave up his own race to help tonight.

Without HELPERS these races cannot be run, next week we have none and then 1 for the 2 weeks afterwards. I need 6 people to run the race out of the gates please and at least 1 other helper every week to man the gates as I can’t be at the start, finish and gates.

If you want to race you can bring a helper with you (over 16). Please volunteer so that the series can continue.

43 riders lined up for the first event of the Ford CC Masters Series for 2023: the first event since 2019 due to the pandemic. The weather was fine and bright with little wind and after 5 laps the EFGH group who had been given a half lap start were caught. On the next lap the first prime was taken by James Mead with the field splitting into several groups. A seven strong group formed and very soon established a 20sec lead over the bunch. The group comprised Paul Hart, James Mead, Matt Holmes, Matt Steel, Paul Turton, Ross Courtnell and Brad Lamb. Within a couple of laps Lamb was dropped and soon after the second prime was taken by Matt Holmes. With about 10 mins to go before the hour was up Paul Hart escaped on his own. After two laps he was joined by Matt Holmes and James Mead with Steel and Turton chasing furiously behind. At the bell they had caught the leading trio. Paul Hart jumped away in the last km only for Matt Holmes to catch him just before the line to take the win. Marco Coppolo took the bunch sprint with Stephen Piper the first EFGH and Ruth Stapleton the first woman.
