Despite the windy conditions Jon Howard raced to his fastest time of the year at the Ludlow CC promoted 10 miles TT covering the distance in 22-15.  He was followed home by Dave Wood with a time of 23-07 and Ian Connolly finishing on 24-10.

William Pedersen rode his 2nd race for Wyre Forest CRC in the Under 14s 10 mile road race which was round 3 of the West Midlands Youth Circuit Series at the Sundourne circuit at Shrewsbury on Sunday and he was rewarded with a fine top 10 finish in a quality field of riders. The race was full on from the gun and was strung out for much of the early laps as riders tried to get away and lap 3 being was completed in a swift 1 min 36 seconds. The pace was unrelenting with numerous attacks but William kept alert and got into break of 7 riders which managed to get a small gap but it was soon brought back by the bunch and despite numerous failed attacks, the race finished in a bunch sprint and William crossed the line safely in the reduced bunch for his best finish in the series so far and a huge improvement on his round 1 performance.
