The unexpectedly large 90 man field produced a few hazards on this hard rolling circuit. A crash after 18 miles brought down 11 riders, including Mark Knowles, but he eventually rejoined the bunch despite a buckled rear wheel. He chased and out sprinted mot of the small breakaway group to finish third overall. Team mates John Sharples, Frank McCloud and Paul Panagi finished with the main field.

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.
