Meanwhile the 100 mile Tourist Trials were taking place. Only Robert Spence entered the 100 in 8, but five were on the untimed 100. Robert rode on, but Colin, Frances, Paul Kerr and the two Andrews kept going quite well and were beyond Halberton by the time they stopped for lunch on the Grand Western Canal bank. They didn’t stop long, and kept moving so well that they all finished in less than eight hours – in time in Colin’s case to see the final of the Wold Championship Road Race “on the box”. Hope you all enjoyed taking part.
