It was a successful day for a number of club riders at the Bigfoot CC “25”. This was held on the Chilham-Canterbury-Ashford course and conditions were cool and grey with a northerly breeze which made the return leg from Ashford a bit of a challenge.
Fastest rider was Chris Fennell with an excellent 51.16, and Ollie Robinson (57.09) and Dan Martin (57.14) picked up 1st and 2nd prize respectively in the junior category. Although it is to be confirmed, we believe that these three riders also won the team award. Other rides of note were a PB for Nic Fennell (58.56) and Colin Robinson (1.01.36) with his fastest ride over 25 miles for more than 15 years.
