Cycling: Grey skies and a bitterly cold north wind greeted riders in Sunday’s 125 miles Tour of the Marshes event across Romney Marshes. John Willis, Guy Pike and Andy Hillman [Andrew Hillman] of Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club, gave a good account of themselves against 20 professionals and 40 top amateur riders. The winds and high average speeds took their toll and most of the field, including the local trio, abandoned the race and opted for an early bath. Chris Kitchenham was first junior in a Kent CA 10 mile promotion on the Snodland bypass. He clocked 24mins 46secs.

Cycling: Sunshine and sleet showers brought mixed fortunes to members of Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club at the weekend. Early starters in Saturday afternoon’s East Sussex CA 10 mile time trial at Whitesmith suffered the wort of the heavy sleet. Clive Piper, 14, was first man off in the Hastings club promotion and got round in a creditable 29min 13sec. Less fortunate in 13th starting position was Frank McCloud. He hit the deck on a greasy corner and lost further time with an unshipped chain to finish in 27:15. Chris Kitchenham produced another amazing ride to finish as first junior and overall winner in 24:14. Suffering sore legs from this ride.

Following a winter of long training miles in harsh conditions, Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club members are beginning to stretch their legs with some early season racing. Several have been active in the Surrey and Kent road racing league series with John Willis, Frank Mcleod and Paul Panagi contesting the 3rd and 2/3rd category events. Young Chris Kitchenham, now in junior ranks after three successive years as a schoolboy, looks to be starting the season on a high note. Following his ninth place in the Sussex CA 25 mile time trial at Arundel earlier this month, he astounded fellow club members with a scorching 22 min 19 sec ride in the Elite CC 10 mile promotion at Brentwood on Saturday. In a class field featuring some of the south’s top riders, Chris swept to the 4.99 miles turn in less than 10 minutes, while averaging speeds in excess of 35 mph. On the return leg to the finish with the last half mile on tricky and narrow Essex lanes, he was hampered by a rising chill northerly wind which reduced his speed to just under the 25 mph barrier. Beaten into second junior position by a mere 15 seconds, Chris took consolation in the knowledge that his real speed training has not yet started. Event: Elite CC 10 miles 30 March 1991, |

Gruelling bike race Five members of Hastings Cycling Cub competed near Chichester on Saturday in the Sussex divisional road race championships. The Hastings lads did well with Frank McLeod seventh and Paul Panagi eight in the seniors after a gruelling 90 miles. Juniors Mark Knowles and Chris Kitchenham made sure they covered every breakaway. The tough uphill finish proved too much for some when a trio of riders locked handlebars and hit the deck. Mark and Chris escaped the carnage to cross the line in second and fifth places. Mark repeated his second place in the previous weekend’s Kent League road race where the club’s position was consolidated by John Sharples taking the bunch sprint for third position. Chris Kitchenham scored yet another personal best and the first club rider ever to go inside 21 minutes for ten miles. His 28½ mph ride in the Hainault Road Club event at Shenfield, Essex placed him eight overall and first junior in a field of 120 competitors. Chris is now fastest junior and senior 10 mile club record holder with 20min 53sec.

Sixty riders set off on Sunday afternoon to cover the 86k first road race stage based around Benenden in Kent.
