The club event was won by Trevor Deeble (23.09) in what I assume is a PB, but did not check so am not sure. Malcolm Daly (23.55) topped 25 mph and Stewart Buckland (25.12) must have been a PB some two minutes quicker than he did on the course last year. Neil Smith would surely have beaten Stewart again, having been quicker than him these last three weeks in the HRH classics, but the trains could not cope with the heat and did not get him back from London in time to sign on. Many thanks both to Neil for going to Little Common roundabout and to Andy Lancaster for marshalling there. Many thanks to Rover Dave Cox for signage and marshalling at Pevensey roundabout. The next five Hastings riders all had PBs: Iain Webster 27.02
Gareth Purves 27.05
Fabien Large J13 27.11
Calvin Hatter 28.29
Steve Ferguson 30.49
Very well done to up and coming Fabien Large who has shown great character and how resilient he is by coming back to racing and setting a new ten mile PB of 27.56 last Saturday at Horsham after recently breaking his collar bone and having to wear an arm sling for a month. He knocked another 45 seconds of his PB, on a warm evening with good winds, a very impressive improvement just four days later. Thirteen year old Large is a keen down hill racer and had a nasty fall at Penshurst Off Road Club in the middle of May. With the GHS South East heats being held next Saturday to qualify for the National Under-17s ten mile TT final in September Fabien only had a week off his bike before getting on the turbo trainer in the garage.
