ST Ives rider Mark Thomson took a win at the Milton Keynes Bowl Race last week, his first of the season.
He and clubmate Andy Wylde broke away from the bunch early on before Wylde, still feeling the effects of last week's Anglo Polymers event, had to fall back.
Working with a small breakaway group, however, Thomson lapped the pack before holding off the riders with him to take the win.
THE Club also promoted the latest round of the Northampton and District time trial series last week, racing 10 miles over a B1043 course.
Gary Stevens came second in a time of 22 minutes, just ahead of team-mates Neil Houldey in 22:35, and Stephen Butterworth in 24:01, giving St Ives the team win.
Miranda Oberman recorded a personal best time of 26:34, and Terry Cooke picked up valuable veterans points with 27:02.
