CYCLING: Hounslow & District Wheelers came within a hairs breadth of winning the team prize in the West London Cycling Association 10-mile time trial, finishing a single second slower that the Maidenhead and District CC, writes Chris Lovibond.
The aggregate time for the three Maidenhead riders was 1 hour 7 minutes 25 seconds, while the Hounslow time was 1.7.26. The team counters were: Nic Stagg 21.26 (4th over all), Rob Gilmour 22.50 (11th) and Paul Innes 23.10 (12th) The outright winner was the elite roadman Tony Gibb (Cycle premier.com) with the fast time of 20.22, and this was in spite of the unpleasantly cold and windy conditions which slowed the whole field.
The event, which attracted 57 entries, was run on the Bath Road west of Reading with an H.Q. at Woolhampton.
