Fantastic work.

Only 2 more points needed for 3rd cat then?

Thanks guys. Was good fun and yeah i'll be looking to attempt to get those extra two points throughout the year. Should be doable.

"The wind abated slightly but the rain threatened and persisted at times, although thankfully it remained mild. This year the weather and holiday season has not diminished the size or quality of the 4th cat fields and with the Ladies lining up alongside them provided an eager entry of 60+. The wind again played a part shrinking the peloton progressively principally as a result of attacks mostly by a posse of London Dynamo riders - Alex Evangelidis, Henry Charrington and Francis Fox. However, the best move of the race came from Robin Mould (Velosport CC) who slipped away and rode alone for 4 km; sadly he succumbed but the run-in was frantic and the group was well strung out by Carrington, Mould and Christopher O’Hearn (Dulwich Paragon) leading out, but in the last 300 m from the bus stop Tom Pontin (Addiscombe CC) managed to get on their wheel and come round them to cross the line in first place with only 100ths separating the first 8 places. Kevin Chandler (Watford Velosport) and the two attackers Carrington and Mould finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th, the latter looking ready for the move up a category."
