<strong>LVRC</strong> Track Championships<br />
Calshot, 23rd September<br />
Once again a well-supported event at Calshot Track, with several World<br />
Champions entered. The event was somewhat overshadowed by the tragic<br />
death of Brian Hawkridge in a road accident. Other reigning champions<br />
defended well, World Champion Roly Crayford inspiring some of his San<br />
Fairy Ann club-mates, and dominating three groups.<br />
If we had more support from the Regions, say £100 each contribution,<br />
we could transfer the event to Manchester Velodrome. If you all agree<br />
please reply to the organiser as soon as possible and the Velodrome can<br />
be booked for a weekend.<br />

<strong>LVRC</strong> Time-trial<br />
Championships<br />
Coventry, 23rd September<br />
Road works forced a change of course,<br />
but most riders said they preferred the<br />
new one, despite the big climb up to<br />
the turn on the Daventry road. And it<br />
was a beautiful morning, warm and<br />
sunny with little wind.<br />
Most of the medals went according<br />
to class and form. Keir Maris, Glenn<br />
Longland (who’d done a 57 minute 25<br />
the day before), Barrie Mitchell and<br />
Brian Barraclough won their categories<br />
comfortably. But hypervet Derek<br />
Hodgin put 4.40 into his nearest challenger<br />
in the Over-65s, and the mighty<br />
Roger Iddles destroyed everyone, beating<br />
his nearest challenger, Brian Sunter,<br />
by four minutes and making fastest<br />
time of the morning – and all without<br />
any fuss about funny hats.<br />
A surprise in the E cats where National<br />
Vets BAR Champion Terry Coging<br />
made a rare appearance and put 37<br />
seconds into Mick Ives, with an unwell<br />
Ray Minovi doing no better than third<br />
in a close contest,a mere 55 seconds<br />
covering the first four.<br />
