Former Professional and International Rider–Mike Twelves , who lives near Hinckley. Added another British Cycling Championship to his collection, when he won the T.L..I. National Circuit Championships at Rhyl , N.Wales
Mick is the current British Cycling Circuit Champion.–What was most remarkable was that this was only Mike’s 2nd Race this season , due to Injury, Early in the 1 hour and 5 laps race, he bridged across to the lone leader, and despite strong winds making things exceptionaly hard, the 2 were never seen again by the rest of the field–Mike left his rival , near the finish to cross the line alone,
This is the 7th British Championship the Team has won this season , and the 2nd in 7 days .
Team member 68 yr old Mike Allan–who has been side lined with a broken wrist, was back in action on Saturday at Darley Moor circuit nr Ashbourne , Derbyshire.

Team mate Derrik Woodings won the race for riders 75 and over.
Continuing the winning run –Pete Smith kept the teams colours to the fore by winning the Milton Keynes circuit race at the Milton Keynes Bowl.
