Le Maitre and Renyard impress

TWO Guernsey veteran riders both impressed during two big UK events recently.

Graham Le Maitre (pictured) and Allan Renyard travelled to participate in the Veterans' Time Trials Association 50-mile Championship and the East Dorset Cycling Association 15-mile time trial.

The former event took place at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, with a mixed surface of old tar and chippings as well as some short sharp rises.

With pleasant weather in the build-up, it proved advantageous on two-thirds of the triangular-shaped circuit.

On the overall leader board, Le Maitre was 20th on age handicap and third in the 40-49 age group. Renyard finished 15th overall, equating to sixth place in the 60-69 age category.

Le Maitre's performance was all the more impressive because it placed him 11th on actual time in the whole event.
