KENT Valley's Bruce Attwood served notice of things to come with a storming fourth place in Sunday's Horwich CC 50 miles time trial at Garstang. The latest round of the Lakes and Lancs Sporting Courses Competition was a windswept affair on the three-lap Scronkey course but the Kent Valley veteran finished with 2hrs 2mins 2secs, riding from first position in the event!
He was only seven seconds behind third placed Clayton Velo's rider Peter Greenwood in an event won by Science in Sport's Paul Dotchin with 1-54-50. Other local times were: Paul O'Mahoney (BCW) 2-03-10; Gary Spenceley (LCC) 2-08-13; and Richard Belk (KV) 2-16-32.
Kent Valley's Lois Gosnay travelled over the Disforth for the Holme Valley Wheelers 50 and, despite the wind, rode a personal best of
2-19-12. Ruth Dorrington, of Pete Read Racing, was the women's section winner with a 2-3-56.
The latest midweek club 10 at Milnthorpe was won by second Kent Valley member Simon Smythe in 23:24 from Adrian Yate on 23:57 and Richard Belk 25:04. Other leading times were: Ian Bullough 25:26; Terence Tideswell 25:53; Kevin Preston 26:02; Mark Hayton 26:06; Mike Birkett 26:43; Kevin Towers 27:08; and Bob Bagot 27:31. Fastest woman was Lois Gosnay 28:31 from Heather Addison 28:32.
