FROM flab to fab - that’s, the story of Clitheroe cyclist Tim Lawson. Tlie .bike ace is celebrat
ing this week after smashing the European• 3,000m record' for his age . category at the British Masters Track Pursuit Championship at the Newport Velodrome last weekend.' . His time of three minutes
and 30 seconds in the 40 to 49 age section beat the previous ■ European best by four seconds and was just a second outside* the world record. Lawson’s time was so good-
. that no other rider from any other age category could beat it.
-It marks a remarkable trans
formation for the 45-year-oId who freely, admits that at one stage during his life he was tip- ■
■ ping the scales at more than 18 stones. He said; “I’ve
been.cycling
all my life but r got out of it. v At one point I got quite fat and - out of shape.” It was shortly after he-
founded the successful Kibble: Valley business Science: in
i'Sport, which is the market lead-. • ing sports nutrition company based in Brockhall Village, that - Lawson decided to get back in ■ shape.
. He added: ‘T felt like I was ■. not a very good ambassador for ■ a sports nutrition company. I :: was pretty heavy so I took th e '- decision to get back in shape.” . Competing in the 45 to 49 age
category for the first time this year, the.Ribble Valley biking ace knew he had to be at his best when he saw the line-up of
i riders he was up against, which - included '• current:' European champion Peter Ettles. He added: ‘T knew I had to^ set. a : fast; time because Peter
! was in the race after me. I saw > ^ him fight for the bronze medal in Sydney at last year’s World ;
Championships. : ■ Tim, ■
; “I was dike wooooaah. I’ve .• got to pull out something spe- ■ cial here.” “Having' Peter in. the : field ■ inspired me to ride hard, know- •
1
ing that I was up against some-:, one that good.”
, who also picked' up. a-
silver medal in the 750 metre ; time trial race, and a ; bronze
; in the, pints race, nowturns his attentions, to - the ' World:
‘ Championships and a crack a t ; breaking the world record. ■ < '=•: r The local businessman is also ■
