The records were on "quick" courses - I think Stephen's 10 was on the Q10/2 which was a quick dual carriageway course, starting at Dartford Heath, dropping down onto the A2, past the M25 junction (that wasn't even built then)up to Bluewater turnoff (that neither), over the top (2 right hand turns - no roundabouts) and back down the A2 coming off to finish opposite the start.
I always mention to Ruth when we drive to Bluewater, that I used to race on that road, but conditions were so different then.
The 25 (I think) used the Southend road - the A13, but remember their times were pre aero bars, disc wheels heart rate monitors computers etc
I don't know what they are up to now? There was also another very fast junior at that time - Mike Perry who was always a few seconds behind Stephen.
