GILLINGHAM & DISTRICT WHEELERS 19 MILE HILLY
OPEN TIME TRIAL
Saturday 15th March, 2003 on the U303 course.
The circuit, which starts and finishes in Bruton, Somerset, comprises a challenging route taking in Charlton Musgrove, Zeals, Kilmington and North Brewham. (Please find map attached). Riders are sure to enjoy the course, which is mainly on quiet, well surfaced roads and includes variable uphill gradients, followed by fast downhill sections.
The event is one of the West Districts traditional early season TTs, having been previously promoted by Trowbridge CC. The Wheelers are pleased to take charge of the fixture, wishing to ensure its successful continuance on the racing calendar and are hopeful of attracting a good field.
We are currently formulating a good prize fund, which will include at least £20 for the first overall Veteran home, and several Age-related Vet awards. There will also be a substantial incentive to break the course record, which currently stands to Harry Lodge, (then of RDM-Flanders), who posted a 43-33 last year.
Entries (£4-75) and enquiries for the event (2pm start), will be welcomed and should be forwarded to the organiser at the address below :
Carole Miller - Joncherette, 2 Buttercup Close, Gillingham, Dorset.
SP8 4XB. Tel. (01747) 824943.
We hope to see you all at this and/or other West Region events in the coming season.
