MORE than 70 cyclists took part in the second Taunton Town Centre Cycle Races 28 years ago.
Around than 2000 people lined the streets to watch three races in the two-and-a-half hour event on August 13 1993.
Eleven riders were from Taunton’s twin town Lisieux in France.
The race circuit started outside County Stores in North street – now the site of fashion retailer Topshop.
Mat Watch from Team Zoyland was the winner of race one, Johnny Haron of VC Lexovieu came first in the second race and Rob lyne from Heron RC took top spot in the final race.
The event was hailed a huge success by organisers.
