CAITHNESS Cycling Club’s weekly 10-mile time trial was held on the slower Shebster course last week due to roadworks but conditions were good with little wind.
Allan Sutherland responded well to set a new course record of 23 min 50 sec. In a close battle for second, Darren Bain edged out Dave Morrill by six seconds and John Falconer had a narrow advantage for fourth place over the rapidly improving Andrew MacLeod, who took the maximum six points in the Handicap League.
