After last weeks cancellation due to wet weather around 60 riders competed across grades A through E in cloudy but mild, still conditions perfect for racing.
The pace was on straight away across grades A, B and C. It was a bunch finish for A grade with sprint specialists Scott Gregory and Luke Markof crossing ahead of Iain Clark in a solid return to his racing at National Boulevard.
In C grade a breakaway of 3 riders (Nathan D’Arcy, John Mitsinikos and Rachel Huxley) got away and eventually lapped the rest of the C grade field just before the end.
In B grade the pace was also on from the first lap with multiple surges and breakaway attempts that were ultimately brought back but were too much for a handful of riders that were spat out the back during the process. In the end trial rider Adam Caldwell in his second race won comfortably with the fastest lap of the day across all grades (46.7 km/h) ahead of Ross Clark and Dennis Markouras. D grade ended in a bunch sprint with Robert Castellani, Jason McHeyzer and Joe Caruana taking the top 3 places respectively. No vision of E grade but drop it in the comments if anyone wishes to add a race report.
Congratulations to the days winners and place getters and also big thanks for the helpers and volunteers that ensure we can run these events in a safe and efficient manner.
