Four Bury Clarion riders raced in the combined clubs 10-mile time trial near Garstang last Saturday. Faced with a cold wind Nick Hall and Andy Horner kept their tradition of sub-25 minutes when they crossed the line in 23mins 38secs and 24mins 7secs respectively. Nigel Clayton, riding his first TT in 30-years, made 27mins 24secs, whilst Bob Duckworth posted 31mins 10secs.
Bob Duckworth took part in the Walter Pilkington Sportive last weekend. The 50-Km event starting from Bury, is a memorial ride to commemorate the founder of Pilkingtons Cycles and runs alongside the 100Km Charlie Westlake outing. The hilly course saw Bob finish in a time of 3-hours, 1-minute.
Nick Hall raced at the Salt Ayre racing circuit near Lancaster last week, in the League Of Veteran Racing Cyclists criterium event. After a dramatic race, which saw Hall lose his position in the break due to a crash, he finished the 30-mile race 25th out of 50-riders.
Meanwhile, Neil Kirby rode the Friday night Regional Track League at the Manchester Velodrome where he took 2-laps in The Course De Primes.
