North Down’s Neil McKenna continued to display the sort of form last weekend which has made him one of the most feared roadmen in the country. In the 60 mile Tour of the Lakes, over hilly roads on the Inishowen Peninsula, the going was always going to be tough and in such circumstances the best always come to the fore.

The race was run with two groups and a 3 minute handicap which was insufficient as the scratch group caught the first group after only one and a half laps (I will pass this valuable experience on to the race sub looking after the next race on the 20th!!!). Conditions were dry but visibility was limited by the grey and misty evening weather however the competitors rode a sensible race in the conditions.
