Caron Pugh convincingly took the win but was unable to match his club record set last year, a tantalisingly 26 seconds away. Arwel Wyn Jones placed second on the night with a strong ride, and completing the podium, and setting a new V60 record in the process, Glyn Williams.
In the women’s event, Lowri Richards, showing her form this season took the win. Emma Palfrey placed second on the poduim and Anita took the third spot.
