The Club’s Dave Lazenby recently took part in a 12 hour or half day time trial event at Pocklington in Yorkshire. Riders race solo over a set route and amass as many miles as possible in the 12 hours. Dave’s mileage at the end of his ride was a very impressive 257.19 miles. This was a beating of his own previous club record by over 9 miles.
