The first wet day since last Wednesday greeted the 10 riders who competed the 3 lap Springweel Road/Dinaghadee road race. The limit group of 5 were given a short handicap of 1:30 to get the legs warm and by the end of the first lap the 5 man scratch group had caught them. Duane McCreadie had to retire with a buckeled wheel after almost coming to grief with Noel Boyce whose derailler when into Duane's spokes at the top of the Springwell hill. They were all together at the end of the second but during the final lap Alan Lavery and Neil McKenna got away and stayed away until the finish which Alan won uncontested in a time of 59:27. The bunch did not work together to reel in the break. Paul Ferguson won the sprint 32 second later from Matt McInerney

 
Conditions – Despite a wet evening 10 riders turned out for the hillclimb. With enough marshalls and a police presence the climb went the full course i.e. turning right at the top of the Brae toward Craigantlet and finishing 50 yards beyond where it stops going up.tail wind down the hill; head wind back up – bummer!!
