The Reading CC road race was held on the Great Milton circuit with 78 riders taking to the start for the four laps of the regional A race. After the pre race briefing, a minutes silence was perfectly observed in memory of Wouter Weylandt who died recently in the Tour of Italy.

Further offers of help for marshalling would still be gratefully received. The race was heavily oversubscribed, with a high quality full field of 80 riders being accepted.

As most of you will be aware we ran the second event in the our Road Race series on Saturday with the Reading only Crit, which despite a few worries that we may not have enough numbers, ended up being a cracking race. Just over 20 riders signed on for the 1 hour plus 5 laps race and what turned out to be the best day of the weekend.
