Glorious Cutmill Races

Warren's Surrey League Cutmill races went ahead in fine style with great organisation, great weather, great racing and worthy winners. Thanks to all the helpers and especially Mrs Warren who was magnificent in the kitchen!

In the 3rds a lone sole breakaway rider held out until 1 lap to go when Sebastian Ader of A3CRG burst through the field to secure an impressive solo victory. Our own Russell Scott was unlucky to break a spoke on the last lap but still rode on to finish.

I can still picture Ben's face as he realised the class of field that was preparing to contest the afternoon E12 65miler. With Dave Clarke (Team Lacuna), Alex Higham (fresh from his unfair disqualification in the ToB), Betts, Dodd, MacNaTwins, Gower, Atkins, Pickup et al the race was sure to be hard.
Martin Hulbert started proceedings with his trademark early attack that saw him form a 3 man break with Roger Smith and Chris MacNamara but after a couple of laps that was neutralised until Dave Clarke surged the climb to take a solo lead which he held and extended to the line for an impressive win. Power-rider Paul Holdsworth made a rare reappearance on the road race scene and finished a fine 2nd. Of the VCM team Stephen Richards rode well for 10th, with Ben riding strongly and Roger riding on will power to both finish in the bunch. Dave Creegan was a DNF with seizing brakes (although it took him a few laps to realise!)
