TWO local cyclists, who are members of Wyre Forest CRC, secured podium finishes in the latest round of the Summer series of criterium circuit races promoted by Stourbridge CC.

James Banks, who only gained his third category licence at the start of the summer season narrowly lost out in a sprint finish in the combined second/third/fourth category race at the Stourport Sports Club.

However, Banks’ second place secured a further eight points towards his second category licence.

In the ladies’ combined categories race, fourth cat Susanna O’Shaughnessy from Pershore finished third behind two third cat riders which earned her another point towards her third category licence.
