National '25' - On the' Boro'



Saturday brings the National 25 mile time trial in Yorkshire on the famous Borougbridge course, well not on the A1(M) which is now a motorway but it takes place on the old Great North Road that runs parallel to the new one. I get to ride the No 100 which in the past would have made you one of the favourites but with the new seeding system simply means I'm the 50th fastest so I'll be trying to better that on the day and marvel at how Dr Hutch manages to put so much distance between himself and the rest of the field (never mind me!)

We have four riders in the National 50 mile time trial on the 20th June, Martin Koester will have a rare old battle at the head of the field with Matthew Eckford being off number 2 & 4 respectively, either of them have the chance to lead the National Championship if they see off the surrounding opposition. Jonathon Thomas off half an hour later at No 36 and myself at No 73 (I was 26th fastest entry) so it should be a good morning for the club, at least we should be able to break the Club 50 mile team record which stands at 6:03:30 set in the Colchester Rovers '50' 28th August 1983 so due for updating
