With rain forecast for all day this must of put a number off a riders of attending the latest round of the Brooks Cycles Track League at The Lyme Valley Velodrome, Newcastle under Lyme, However the rain cleared and the sun came out to bring a warm sunny evening. Unfortunately the Freewheelers event did not take place as there was a section of the track which was damp when their races were due to take place. The track was dry though by the start time of the main league.
In the opening 500m Handicap League Paige Nutton ( Swinnerton Cycles) used her long mark to good effect as she took a great win from Phil Houlton ( Brooks Cycles ) and Chris Pyatt ( Brooks Cycles ) Phil and Chris teamed up to win the flying 2 –up flying lap and then in the sprint final Joel Partington ( Swinnerton Cycles ) took a controlled win over Phil Houlton.
