The night passed off with a full program of events with a good turnout considering we are now in full holiday season mode when the numbers can decrease. The Freewheelers races kicked off the night with 25 riders competing across the three groups. After the 16 races the top points scorers were as follows in each group;
Group 1 Alastair Kennington Lyme RC
Group 2 Joshua Jackson
Group 3 Ruby Baldwin Lyme RC
In the main league the A Class endurance events saw league leader Will Thomas(Velocity WD40) dominate as he won the 10 lap scratch, points race and the unknown distance. His only loss was in the 10 mile scratch where his team mate Andy Leigh took the win as he came past Will with 10m to go.
The sprint events saw Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles) top score as he won the 2 – up 400m TT with team mate Barney Swinnerton and then win the keiren final in a close finish from Phil Houlton ( Brooks Cycles). The other sprint event was the team sprint where Phil took the win with Max Gethin ( Lyme RC) and Joel Partington ( Sportcity Velo)
The B Class events are turing in to a good battle for the title with league leader Andrew Scott ( lyme RC) winning the 8 lap scratch however team mate Steve hall is closing fast on the lead as he won the Unknown distance, course de primes and the 10 mile scratch.
The final group of riders was the youth where Megan Williams, ( Newcastle RC 2001) won the opening 200m TT.
