Baldwin edged out team-mate Rob Watson by around 35 seconds, while Craven Energy's Ian Taylor completed the podium in third spot.

Baldwin was at the front from the first lap of a technical course which proved challenging for all riders, and the field quickly split according to skill and experience.

Peak Road Club's Dan Cook won the veterans race, beating league leader Mike Young of Pedalsport, while Bradford Olympic also secured a victory in the women's race, courtesy of a superb performance from Hannah Shenton.

And East Bradford CC also secured a win, with Edwin Oliver-Evans beating his rivals in the youth race.

Elsewhere, Yorkshire Road Club's Mark Wilkinson made a worthwhile trip to Lancashire for the North Lancsashire Road Club hill-climb on Nick O'Pendle.

She covered the 1,340-yard climb in 5min 56.9sec and was the fastest of the women, while Dulwich Paragon's Matt Pilkington won the overall title in 4:14.8.

Many of the riders in action yesterday were getting in their final preparations for the National Hill-Climb Championships in Warwickshire next Sunday.
