Tom Zittel: Last Friday Chris Kelly and I rode Welwyn track.
In the 10 lap it stayed together till 3 laps to go when a couple of FullGas riders went over the top. I jumped on the wheel and we were joined by another rider. One of the FullGas lads went early and no one wanted to chase. In the end I won the bunch sprint for 2nd.
Next we had 2lap sprint heats followed by a final. Chris and I were in the same heat and he opened things up from turn two on the bell lap which allowed me to take 2nd and get through to the final.
In the final a Colchester rider went from the gun and after some hesitation we chased. I ended up on the front on the final lap and chased down the lone leader. Andrew perry who was sat on my wheel came around in the home straight I had nothing left. 2nd place

Chris shot a short video too!
Only two riders finished the 10mile, I tried for both primes and got 2nd both times. First to Perry (again!) and then Frank Longstaff.
Cracking night! Harriet Mellor was down getting ready for Herne Hill team champs in a couple weeks. She is riding with Marianne Harding and Jayne Paine
