GARDINER TAKES NATIONAL 24

UK race report

NIK Gardiner covered 510.095 miles in the National 24-Hour Time Trial Championship to secure his fourth victory in the event, and promptly announced it was his last full-day event.

Gardiner?s distance gave him a comfortable victory over second-placed John Warnock (Twickenham CC) who covered 487.83, but in reality none of the riders were comfortable on a scorching hot day in Shropshire.
