A hectic weekend of racing saw the Stars past and present racing in national and international events.
As well as the extraordinary Naomi de Pennington taking a brace of medals at the World Grand Fondo Championships in Denmark, Simon Smart, a welcome regular at our time trails finished 25th in his age group in the time trial. His age group was won by none other than the great Marion Cippolini!
At home, Peggy Simkins, also a TT regular, finished 12th overall in the National 10 mile time trial championships in a time of 22-31. This was good enough to take the Espoir title for riders between the ages of 19 and 22. A fantastic performance from Peggy.
In the men’s race the both Richard Santhouse and Ed Anderson seem to be getting quicker as the season comes to and end. Richard dipped well inside 20 minutes to finish in 30th place in 19-45 and Ed finished 67th in 20-41, both excellent performances in a very deep field.
Well done to everyone. Please send race reports to me at pressofficer@banburystar.co.uk. Thanks.
