There was a large turnout for the Annual Inter-Club Ten Mile Time Trial on the Romney Marsh Newchurch / Ivychurch circuit recently
Almost forty riders turned out for the race, although, due to punctures, two riders did not make it to the starter and a further two failed to finish.
Rye Wheeler, Steve Gooch (24.18) was the fastest rider on the day with Thornton’s Adam Eastwood (24.43) in second place. Ashford Wheelers took the next five places and won the Scatch Team Trophy by a good margin.
The much sought after Handicap Cup was won by the Thornton Road Club team with their first first riders recording a plus time of 9 minutes 47 seconds.
