Massed Start Road Race

The Caesarean Cycling Club held there fourth massed start road race of 1956 on Sunday morning over a distance of 25 miles. Wally Rowe who after being beaten by half a wheel in one event and not being able to compete in the others made no mistake about winning this one. Right from the start he broke away and with a fine solo ride and averaging a speed of 24.22 m.p.h came with nearly two minutes in hand. Not even the consolidated effort of Hubert, Ecobichon Perchard and Audoire could nullify his effort. These four riders finished close together, Donald Ecobichon being second after sprinting from the front. For probably the first time in the history of the club there were lady entrants for this type of racing, Sally Gueno winning from Colleen Dowsing. Not only did the riders have to contend with a hilly course from Grande Charriere to Tabor Chapel via the north of the Island but also a fresh westerly wind and overcast and chilly conditions.
