EVESHAM Wheeler Ben Stockdale won his first road race of the year racing at Hen-grove Park in Bristol last weekend.

The youngster, who has won his under-14 category several times, crossed the finish line of the 20K race ahead of the field which contained mostly under-16 riders to record a memorable victory.

Brother Tom also successfully competed the course.

Ben's recent good form has resulted in his selection for the British Cycling West Midland Division Under-14 team to compete in a stage race in Ireland in August.

The club staged its second evening Time Trial of the year last Wedn-esday.

The 15-mile undulating circuit of Bredon Hill attracted 13 riders on a cool and windy evening with a good representation of members from mountain bikers to comeback riders.

Top six times: Martin E Hall 39.50; Brian Newton 40.58; Adrian Mayhew 41.50; Richard Weaver 43.13; Martin P Hall 44.13; Steve McGrath 45.55.

The latest club run was led by Martyn Cole last through the picturesque Worcestershire lanes.

A second group led by Gordon Taylor took a similar route and met at the same place.

This Sunday's club run is to Long Compton.

Next Wednesday eve-ning there's a club ten-mile Time Trial at Teddington Hands starting at 7pm.
