Dont forget its Double points Bank Holiday Monday This Monday
Up the hill out of Skipton some one said to me "The tension builds as we climb the Col de Skipton in the block head wind but some wally will attack soon"
Up passed up the Pub Richard attacked going clear Matt did his usual stint on the front Keeping Richard at a safe distance a few guys tried to bridge the gap but didn't make contact Joel jumped at the right time catching Richard and they moved clear.
The group rode a steady tempo no one really keen to press on in to the head wind.
At the Duckpond Richard and Joel had moved clear but Joel dropped his purse on the climb up passed the Angel.
The biggest group ever came over the top of the Angel and settled for a sprint
Richard used all his timetriling skills to stayed away and take the win Giles took the sprint from Mick Day.

SUPER SID SHOWS HIS CLASS
Yet again it was another huge field for this mornings café racing with the riders basking in the late summer drizzle.
It was left down to Chris Rhodes to kick of events with a stinging attack up the heifer climb, but alas his attempts came to nothing as the field recognised his class and brought him back into the fold. Next to try was last weeks victor Tim Baldwin, who was full of confidence after last weeks epic ride, but super café Richard (I’m not having that) Harrison jumped across to make what looked like a formidable duo in the lead. Not to be outdone Joel Davidson jumped across, closely followed by young Tom Moses & John Flanagan but with Matt Denby riding tempo on the front this select group found it difficult to break the elastic of the fast moving bunch. The field came together at the bottom of the infamous Angel climb & stayed this way for run into the finish. Shak decided to lead out affairs, closely followed by Jough, Jough went for an early one with the Wiley fox sid on his wheel, then Sid put in a unbeatable burst on the line with Murgy unable to pass in 2nd & Joel closely following in 3rd
Thanks Mr Murgy for the write up.
1st Sid Barras
2nd Murgy
3rd Joel Davidson
