Cris Coxon wins his age band, 45-49, at CTT National Road bike Championships near Chippenham, Wilts. On Sunday 1 October.

Both “25” records set this month on local courses with Cris winning the first event held by Southern Counties C.U. near Dorking and being second in the V.T.T.A. (Surrey/Sussex) event near Uckfield held on 17 September, despite still recovering from suffering a collision with a car resulting in a poisoned arm and many cuts.
Despite having to manage without Cris Coxon, Brighton Mitre C.C. won the team in this event that included the Veterans’ Time Trial Association (Surrey/Sussex) Championship “15” with Paul Thatcher, Brian Molloy and Robin Johnson in a total time of 1:56:09 and total age of 195 years.
On a less than perfect evening, Cris Coxon beat course record with an impressive 21:06, ahead of Mark Day 23:27; Charlie Heffernan 23:50 closely followed by Jack Smith 23:53 and James Hampshire 26:17. Other clubs provided 6 men and 2 women competing.
Cris’ road bike course record for the Goodwood closed circuit was further improved by him to 20:30 on 19 July.
