DON ECOBICHON WINS 45-MILE EVENT
In really good conditions the competitors in the 45 mile event were sent off sharp at 8am. Staring at the Watersplash, Five Mile Road the course was via Jubilee Hill a long to Croix au Lion at left at St Ouen’s Parish Hall and so back to the Watersplash.
The course had to be completed seven times. First time round riders were still close together but on the second lap S.Perchard started a break closely followed by Don Ecobichon, Jimmy Tanswell and G.Audoire closed in after a while leaving Don Cook and G.Clarke a little way behind.
ENDED IN THE NETTLES
On the fifth lap whilst going strongly down L’Etacq Hill G.Clarke had the misfortune to hit a particularly bad bump and came off, fortunately without injury a part from being badly stung on landing in a bed of nettles. with a badly buckled from wheel he was forced to retire.
On the final lap Perchard started his sprint a little to early. Ecobichon closed quickly and crossed the line 6 seconds a head.
FIVE MILE RACE
Whilst the Seniors were on the long event the ladies and juniors had a 5-mile event using the Five Mile Road course.
Some of the juniors at present show signs of doing very fast times by the time the graduate to the senior class. Miss Grant also is putting up very good times and certainly wasted know time in this event only being beaten by a margin of three seconds by Miss S.Harrington.
