Trott (Wiggle Honda) was just inches clear of rival Hannah Barnes (MG Maxifuel) in the sprint for the line, with a photo finish needed to split the riders, while Trott's team-mate Dani King took third, a second further back.
And victory in the elite men's race went to Team Raleigh's Tom Scully, again in a dramatic sprint finish where he held off Alex Dowsett (Movistar) and Dean Downing (Madison Genesis).
In Cumbria, Kuota-Spinergy rider Chris Lawless was crowned the National Junior Road Race Champion after winning the 70-mile race around Penrith.
The 17-year-old from Wigan was four seconds ahead of RST Racing rider Gabz Cullaigh, while Tao Geoghegan Hart (CC Hackney) completed the podium in third.
The Hillingdon Grand Prix in London saw Emily Kay (Scott Contessa-Epic) win the 50-kilometre women's race, which was part of the women's National Road Race Series, by just a few inches from High Wycombe CC's Clemence Copie.
Third spot was enough for Charline Joiner (MG Maxifuel) to retain the overall series lead.
