Kenton Road Club's Des Gayler and Carl Bond rode last Saturday evenings' Herts Wheelers 10-mile time trial.

On a day of high winds times were generally slower than expected for most of the riders. Gayler was timed over the line in 22.45 and Bond in 23.03. Race winner was Craig Simpson (Blue Sky Cycles) in a fast time of 20.05. The following morning saw Kenton's Dave Gayler riding the Paul Simon Holmes 60-mile Road Race at South Mimms near Hatfield.

With many riders anxious to get home to see the first stage of the Tour de France on television a fast race ensued with Gayler finishing 16th in the main bunch.
