Event Details
Report: Chris Pyatt

The Brooks Cycles Track League event on Thursday 7th July 2011 missed all the forecast showers with a full programme of events completed.

The night started with the usual Freewheelers Races with a record 29 riders taking part. The racing was well contested with some spirited performances from all the riders. The top point's scorers were as follows in each group.

In the Sprinters League Barney Swinnerton (Science in Sport) won the sprint final in a tactical sprint that did not fully commit until the final 200m. The opening 2 up time trial saw a surprise result with Tom Powell (Newcastle RC 2001) and Dave Smith (Stafford RC) taking the victory with a great time of 24.87 seconds.

The team sprint saw the four teams all record good times with the winners being Joffie Houlton, Louis Preston (Lyme RC) and the newly crowned National Masters 500m time trail Champion Phil Houlton (Newcastle RC 2001).
The A Class endurance events saw Adrian Adgar, Balanced Performance score an impressive 11 ½ points to move up the overall league table.

He won the double harness pursuit with Barry Charlton (Lyme RC) the course de primes and then produced an impressive sprint to win the final 10 mile scratch race from Paul and Ryan Whatmough (Shepherd Cycles). The other A Class race was won by league leader Robert Lambton (Brooks Cycles) in the opening race of the night the 10 lap scratch.

The B Class events saw Neil Cummins score seven points with a win in the 10 lap scratch and a second and third place in the points and 10 mile scratch. George Edwards (Lyme RC) won the devil and along with his third place in the point's race he has now taken over the overall lead in this league. The final 10 mile scratch was won by Alex Braybrooke (Team Velocity) who stayed with the A Class riders to take the maximum points. In second place was Adrian Humpage (Lyme RC) who returned to riding the track after a few years away and clearly showed that he still has what it takes to ride with the best.

The youth races saw Liam Zwetschnikow (Lyme RC) use his long mark to good effect to win the block handicap from Matthew Braybrooke (Eastlands Velo) and Megan Wynn (Lyme RC). Joel Partington won the devil in a fast finish from Tom Rotherham (Sportcity Velo) and he also won the final scratch race. Joel was also a member of the winning team sprint team with Matthew Braybrooke, Megan Wynn, Ashleigh Williams (Lyme RC) and Alex Braybrooke.
