THE Okehampton Cycling Club Summer time trial series continued last week on a dry evening with 17 riders taking part in the 10 mile course which traces the old A30 road from Bridestowe to Lewdown and back.

Okehampton resident Steve Sage (Southfork Racing) took advantage of the fine conditions to  stamp his authority on the event by achieving an impressive  new course record of 23 minutes 36 seconds beating the old record which he also held by a mighty 36 seconds. He was fastest by a wide margin with Andy Retter second on 26.33.
