Some pictures from the event taken by Peter Purfield
The gridded riders lead away from the startline
42 riders head off for an hours racing in Corcaigh Park just of the Naas Road in west Dublin.
Evan Ryan (Team WORC) takes the lead as they go into the single track, Anthony Doyle (U/A) goes down and looses a lot of time but gets back on and works his way back up through the field
Halfway through the first lap Rodger Aiken (Banbridge CC) piles the pressure on and Robin Seymour (Team WORC) and Ryan are the only two to stay with him
The race behind
On lap two - Aiken and Seymour have gone clear of the rest of the field
Now just one third of the way into the race - these guys going for third place are almost 1 minute in arrears
Seymour leads approaching the halfway stage
Peter McConville (Newry Wheelers) leads the chasers for third place
The two leaders with four laps to go
Crossing the finish line with three laps to go Rodger Aiken attacks
A very determined Aiken puts the hammer down
Seymour looks in trouble - but he is used to digging deep and getting back on terms
Starting the second last lap, the two are back together
Taking the bell for the last lap, Aiken attacks again and Seymour can not respond
Ryan Sherlock (SportActive) takes third place
