time-trial Tony Gornall gained pride of place and also led his North Lancs Road Club team to victory. His 1.18-55 was some two and half minutes outside the course record and represented a super ride in hard conditions by a member of a cycling family whose name has cropped up in the finish­ ing lists for a number of years. Tony's time was almost a minute-.


better than that of Chris Miller (Clayton Velos), last year’s winner' who, off scratch, finished in 1.19- 47. Fellow scratch man A. J. Wil­ son (Lancs RC),. whom it was expected would be the strong man of the day, could only return 1.20- 48 for third place. Peter Romaine (15) had four


minutes lopped off his handicap allowance at the start of the event because of an improvement earlier in the week. However, his seven minutes still put him at the top of the handicap list with 1.15-40. Tony Gornall, one and half minutes allowance, came second
