A glorious weekend’s weather was supported by an illustrious start sheet in the SCA 25 with the local top female and male riders being complemented by an Olympic Track Gold medallist and a National TT Champion. Organiser Mike Anton has done a great job.
Meanwhile out on the course a good turnout and some solid rides from the East Grinstead contingent wasn’t quite enough to clinch the team award which ended up in the hands of In Gear once again. Having had a slow start to the season, Ben Hardisty rode to his slowest 25 since he could remember. However on the up side, he can only get quicker from here. “As I crossed the line I looked down at my time and thought my garmin must be playing up, I must get that firmware update sorted out”.
