Kent Valley had the best evening of the week for their evening 10 on Wednesday and 18 riders chose to compete.

After his surprise first club defeat of the year the previous week by just one second, Adrian Yate was out for revenge on the Milnthorpe course.

With his nemesis Doug Davies absent, he trounced the field with second-placed Paul Clavey nearly a minute and a half behind.

Thursday evenings Jungle Caf and back time-trial was cancelled because of torrential rain, thunder and lightning. But Lancaster CC's 10 at Bull Beck went ahead ande the fastest ride was by John Ingham of the Kent Valley in an excellent 23min 07sec, given the conditions.
