August 1999 August Round-Up Dave Pollard achieved his goal and broke the Club 50 mile Record in style on the fast Essex course. Dave only needs to finish the ESCA 25 in September to win the ESCA BAR. Chris Martin broke the Club Vets Std Record (at 41) in the Sussex 12 hour. Peter Baker and Horry Hemsley teamed up with Chris to take the Team Award. This is the Club's first Open Team win this year! We do not seem to have the strength in depth of previous seasons and it is very rare to see all our fast men on the same start sheet. I hope we can organise ourselves a little better next year, we could learn something from the Eastbourne Rovers?! Ron Rogers broke his own Vets Std Record at 25 miles, can we get him to ride a 12 hour next season? On a positive note we have had Ten New Club Records set this season. Also we have a new fast member in Don Parker who won the Hcp award in his first race as a Wanderer. Old Portlians CC 25 miles G25/18 on Monday the 30th August Shane Faulkner produced his fastest Sussex 25 of the year to finish 10th.
