Race Report
Conditions appeared good on Sunday morning as the Caesarean Cycling Club riders arrived at Millbrook for the Corbiere Time Trial event. However as the riders turned at Corbiere a headwind was encountered back to the finish. Interest was created by four of the fastest riders being bunched together at minute intervals, Wally Rowe being the only rider to catch his minute man, Richardson which he did quite quickly on St Aubin’s Hill. Many of the riders used multiple gears with the noticeable exception of J.P Richardson and E.J. Huquet who favoured a fixed gear of 81 inches. Among the large entry was ex-club champion Sid Lidster who has not ridden in competitive events since 1942; he found this event a hard one though, with more milage he will improve. A newcomer to time trialing is Miss Fay Huelin who finished second to Miss S.Gueno with a creditable time. H.Machon was dogged with trouble for the second time this season his gear cable snapping and causing him to loose two minutes. J.Wardle also had trouble with his machine which cost him six and a half minutes.
