Ford on Fire in Jubilee 10!

Mike Ford (Blazing Saddles) pipped Gregg Parker (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) by the narrowest of margins to win the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 10 in Dorset. On a warm, still morning the Pewsey-based road man surprised local favourite Parker, to notch his second open win of the season. Dave Pickering put the Jubilee on the podium but finished 47 seconds down on Ford. Seven days earlier the New Forest promotion on the faster “Ski Slope” course attracted 115 riders, just 33 bothered with the Jubilee race, run on the slower Bulbury version.
