Congleton Cycling Club

Cyclists enjoy prize luncheon (again)

Seven Club members did a 38 mile club-run to Middlewich via Barthomley, Betley, Wybunbury, Nantwich, Church Minshull, in excellent weather, to join eight more Club members at the Manchester & District Time Trials Association (M&D TTA) annual Lunch and Prize Presentation in Middlewich.

Congletonians were honoured (once more) for their individual and team performances, especially at the individual and combined BAR distances of 50 and 100 miles and 12 hours. Neil Skellern received the top award of Best All-Rounder with an M&D record average speed of 25.268 mph for his three distances on local (Cheshire) courses. Neil was ably supported by Karl Austin and Giudo Reynolds but they were pushed into second place in the Team Prize by the younger riders (under 40) of the Seamons C.C.

The photo shows – from L to R: Giudo Reynolds, Karl Austin, Lynne Skellern, Peter Nelson, Neil Skellern, Bob Norton, Denise Hurst, Peter Hayhurst.

The Club meets every Thursday at 8.30pm at the Rugby Club, Park Street and welcomes anyone who would like to swap ideas and stories on all cycling topics.

Next Sunday, Club members have entered the Lyme Road Club Reliability Trials of 75 and 100 miles; consequently the 9.30 Club-Run will be an impromptu ride.
