The Cliff Pratt Cycles Evening cyclo-cross autumn racing resumed last Wednesday, organised by City RC Hull at a floodlit Costello stadium.

Conditions started off very fast and dry with some late dew causing problems later on but lap times were 30 seconds faster than the winter races.

As darkness fell for the seniors’ race the floodlights were on.

A large field of 55 riders set off at a blistering pace, a select group of 3 riders formed at the front of the race of Zepnat’s Nick Barnes, Tom Ramsey of Crosstrax and Nathan Wilson of Wilson’s Wheels. These 3 were soon lapping riders. A puncture and the pace proved too much for Wilson and he lost touch, eventually finishing 6th.

With 3 laps to go Barnes pushed for the win and Ramsey was unable to respond and Barnes soloed to Victory.

The next race is Wednesday 24th September.
