It’s tough at the top! 

Temp lights at the entrance of Shakely Mere carpark meant a switch to the 2 lap circuit and fortunately the promised rain didn’t materialise until the last rider had finished. 

Jeff Wood was the fastest on the night with 23:17 just 1 sec ahead of Matt Heath [who was giving his road bike an outing]

It’s tight at the top of the Road Bike challenge with only 2 points covering the top 3 places. David Cope has jumped into the lead of the Guardian Cup after 3 rounds and Stuart Ward still leads the Scratch Cup by 4 points from Craig Lee.
