Kernow Cycling Club of the Camborne/ Redruth/Falmouth area of West Cornwall has for the past 25 years been the most prolific organiser of cycle racing events in the district, but has now become the victim of the traffic growth revolution over that period.

The Club's principle race courses used the A30 (T) Camborne/Redruth bypass which attracted some of the best time trialists in Britain for competition. In fact, the 25 mile time trial national championship record is still held by the Olympic champion and Tour de France stage winner Chris Boardman ridden on that course in 1993.

Now, because of the density and speed of the traffic on that road, the club cannot use it and is now restricted to what are known in the time trial race world as "sporting" courses. These are race courses on roads that twist and turn and rise and fall. They are not popluar with amateur competitors because of the huge effort required for fast speeds compared with flat straight roads.

Such a course is the Leedstown/Crowntown/ Praze circuit where Kernow Cycle Club ran a 10 mile time trial on Wednesday. The "sporting" nature of the course did not deter Cycle Logic rider Steve Lampier from breaking the course record last set in 1995 by 48 seconds in a time of 22 minutes 30 seconds, a top athletic performance worthy of a professional continental racer.

Result: 1, Steve Lampier, Cycle Logic 22 mins 30 sec; 2, M Haynes, PZ Wheelers 25 mins 26 secs; 3, M Tonkin, PZ Wheelers 25 mins 46 secs; 4. J Ford Dunn, Steyning CC 26 mins 44 secs; S Cox, PZ Wheelers 29 mins 31 secs; M Prouse, KCC 30 mins 2 secs; K Pixton KCC, 31 mins 49 secs.

KCC would like to record its team without whose help rule and regulation complex modern amateur sport could not function - Timekeeper and assistant, Colin Sellwood and Barrie Cox; marshals, Tony Catnarzaro, Ted Kingston, Roger Sothcott.
