THE STORY

I’m afraid it’s the same old story, despite heroic performances from the ensemble, the leading man defeats all comers with consummate ease.

Joking apart, Steve Dennis, had an outstanding ride in difficult conditions with a rising wind but it was also impressive that the first fifteen riders all finished in under two hours.

Mel Roberton took the honours in the Veterans competition which was well justified as he had been narrowly pipped at the post in the last two Anerley 50’s.

Likewise Debbie Percival improved on her second place, last year, in the Ladies competition to take the crown this year.

And finally the Team prize went to Lewes Wanderers who beat Eastbourne Rovers
into second place by a massive 18 seconds.

EPILOGUE

So that’s it, congratulations to ALL the competitors and thank you for entering and an even bigger THANK YOU to all the officials without whose selfless cooperation it would have been impossible to stage this production
