This week a number of riders made huge gains on their times set earlier in the season at Horne, amongst them was Kieran Barber who smashed out a sub 21 time of 20:53 on a loaned bike to take the RCC scratch win. With some aero wheels fitted in the future he could be kicking out some very serious times.

For the womens scratch we only had one female rider, however Fiona Blagg set a very impressive time of 24:11 - on a road bike.
A tightly fought handicap competition this week, with great improvements from James Penny, Kieran Barber and Richard Bailey.. however Will Henton has been proving something of a handicap specialist recently and took the win by 5 seconds.

Good standard for the veterans this week with most riders up on standard, and even trike-laden Richard (he won't like that) almost making a plus. Brian Hennessey taking the spoils with a 30 second margin over Chris Stone.
