National Association for the over 40 year old racing cyclist
The National 25 mile championship was held on Saturday 28th July on the A25/34 course south of Newark, organised by Colin Parkinson and the Notts & East Midlands Group. The start was delayed by one hour due to a serious traffic accident on the A46 which delayed many competitors getting to the event. Conditions were tough with a southerly gale blowing and occasional drizzle. As a result quite a number of riders did not start. The event was completed successfully, however, and our thanks go to all the officials and helpers who made that possible.
The new national champion is Simon Beldon and the women's gold medal was won by Karen Ledger. The photo is of Karen being awarded her medal by Guest of Honour, Mick Ward.
