INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM RECORDS FOR 30 MILES
TIME
TRIAL GO
By "NTACA”
For the first time this season cyclists had a day reminiscent of a British summer and took full-advantage of it. Sunday, with its cool air and fresh wind, gave everyone the opportunity to ride under near-ideal conditions, with the result that both Individual and Team records for the 80 Miles Time Trial went by the board.
Beck proved that his recent victories were no flash in the pan by returning to the timekeeper in 1-14-25, to beat the previous best by 42 seconds, while the 7 Hussars team really showed what they could do by taking away the Team record from REME CC by a margin of nearly five minutes.
