Auchencrow Thistle’s season finale came to a surprise end as the riders discovered the course truncated by traffic lights (in Berwickshire!) Mike Horne won again and confirmed his second place overall in the time trial series ahead of the absent Lester Grant and behind Robbie Mitchell, who had built up an unassailable lead on account of being undefeated in the solo discipline. Jane Holmes took the women’s title ahead of Laura Thomson, Anna White and Zara Milton. The autumn awaits! Expect another column next week to round up the season.
