Race Report
Caesarean Cycling Club held one of the most successful events in the 21 years of its existence. On the time keepers sheet there were 26 starters the largest entry for 5 years. The times were extremely fast and this on a morning which was far from ideal owing to a fresh southerly wind. Wally Rowe lowered the existing by 27 seconds with an average speed of 24:62 m.p.h. The junior record was also improved upon by D.E.Ecobichon by 1 min 12 secs an average speed of 24:14 m.p.h. Also recorded were many personal bests. A. Morel who hails from Brittany and who has only ridden massed start events completed his first time trial and took fourth position in the senior event an excellent ride. The ladies event was better supported than usual , there being 5 entries . It was won by Miss P Baverstock who though not having completed for two years proved that she had lost little of her former speed. Miss M Horn and Miss C Illien were competing for the first time and there was little difference between them. It was pleasing to note that the only veteran the 52 year old club president who competes regularly managed to beat his previous average speed of 20 m.p.h. There were two new comers in the senior event M Sallai and R Le Sueur who returned respectable times. At the conclusion of the event about 40 members were present at La Grande Charriere when the club president Mr F Machon made a presentation to Miss P Baverstock and Mr K Le Sueur. The two popular members are to be married on Easter Monday and are emigrating to Canada. The president wished them good luck in their venture on behalf of the club. Miss Baverstock holds 14 of the 16 ladies records and everyone up to and including 50 miles. She is the only club member to have taken a prize in an event on the mainland.
