Helen Gutteridge - East Midlands, led the 23 rider bunch all the way up Mill Hill at Keysoe to win the second round of the Women's Team Race Series sponsored by www.womenscycling and the Post Office Sports Foundation; Lorna Webb - Life Repair was second by half a wheel with Diane Moss - Team Luciano, in third.
43 riders got away in fresh conditions on a course that saw its first women's race in 1974; Angela Dolan punctured after only 4 miles and although she fought her way back she was dropped further on never to regain the bunch with the bunch content to see what the circuit was like.
On the second of the 10 mile laps, Sharon Padley - Team Luciano, had the race lined out for 2 miles but could not get away; next to try was Rebecca Milburn - Evans CRT but with Susan Carter - Terry Dolan at the front, she was not allowed too much space. Onto the hill for the third time and 11 riders got dropped; Jeanette Tebbutt - Team Letchworth, attacked hard and was free for 1 mile but it was Gutteridge, Webb and Carter who led the bunch to chase her down.
On the final lap and the race held together until the final ascent of Mill Hill that saw Gutteridge at the front defying anyone to get past her for a super win.
41 riders finished and Team Luciano were placed top team on the day followed by East Midlands and Surrey League
