A fantastic turn out of 47 riders took part in the first round of the Lake Health Group Summer Road Series today kindly sponsored by FIKA Coffee Brewers. Unfortunately, A grade didn't complete the race due to a crash just before the wall but thankfully no-one was reported to be seriously injured. The B Grade race saw Sam Smith in multiple breakaways before breaking away himself to take the win on the same course he won at last year. The field of 14 C grade riders was down to 7 by the time they hit the wall. On one of his favourite courses, Matt Dickinson powered away on the final climb and held on for victory. In D grade, Steve Barrile took the honours over Nina Kerr and Grace Maine. Thank you to Jeremy Humber and Pete Canny for setting up and thanks to Sam Smith and the Chinese Dragon Boat crew for marshalling.
