Race Report
On Sunday morning with the weather fine but with a moderate easterly wind 13 left a point near Tabor Chapel at minute intervals in the Caesarean Cycling Club held 25 mile medium gear (72ins) event. “Wally” Rowe covered the course in 1hr. 5 mins. 13 secs but was closely followed by the junior rider D.E.Ecobichon who did the run in 1 hr. 6 minutes 19 secs. With this notable ride Ecobichon broke the exciting junior record held by B Hubert by nearly 5 minutes. B Hurbet recorded a personal best to fill the second place in the senior event. E J Le Huquet had a puncture but he was able to continue as another rider lent him a wheel; he finished 3 third with a personal best time. B Jones took second place to D.E.Ecobichon in the junior event with G Banks third only 15 seconds slower. There is very little difference between these two riders who are relatively new to cycle racing and it will be hard to say who will finish in the better position at the end of the season.
