2 June -Eastbourne Cycling Festival

Tom Becomes 'Medallion Man!'

Podium For John

Excellent cycling festival today organised by 'TL Sports Events'. A number of us entered the 50 mile sportive.We set off together but as agreed it was each man for himself today so we only met up again at the end. Everyone really enjoyed the course which despite being only 50 miles had 5 large hills packed in, including: Firle beacon, High and Over, Exeat Ramp and Beachy Head. Myself Alexander and Derek were happy just to get round the course in a steady time whereas John V and Andy were really going for it and put in an impressive average time of 17.1 mph, too much for Paul and tom who did manage to stay with them for about 20 miles. After several cups of tea at the end we were lucky to witness Weds chaingang hard-men  John Cordner and Trevor Deeble receiving their awards for  coming second and fourth place respectively in the men's road race.
