A few days earlier, Rory Havis and Will Shepherd were also racing on the A11 albeit over a rather shorter distance. Havis and Shepherd took part in the third of the four 10 mile races organised by the VTTA on Thursday evenings. Havis repeated the impressive performances he had given in previous races, stopping the clock on 20:08, which gave him eighth place overall, while Shepherd finished the 10 miles in a time of 22:23.


On Saturday, two Ely riders took part in the Victoria CC 10 mile event on the E1/10a course near Stansted. Darran Bennett finished the course in a time of 22:13, leaving him in fourth place overall, while Cliff Loveday completed the race in a time of 24 minutes exactly.
