BLRC National Road Race Championship
Glasgow, Sunday, 18 August 1946

Start: Pollockshaw Baths, Ashtree Road, 10am
Finish: Speirs Bridge Recreation Park, Stewarton Road, Thornliebank, approx 3:40pm
Route: Thornliebank, Stewarton, Fenwick, Kilmarnock, Mauchline, Auchinleck, Cumnock, New Cumnock, Kirkconnel, Sanquhar, Menock Pass, Wanlockhead and return; 126.5 miles.

No copies of the results or magazines reports of the race have turned up; but Wikipedia lists the first three as -
1. George Edwards
2. J Clark
3. Mike Peers

Here is the official start list but it looks pretty certain that J Clark (No. 22) is actually Geoff Clark; one of the 24 cyclists who founded the BLRC in 1942. The fact that Geoff is recorded elsewhere as being 2nd in the 1945 Brighton-Glasgow and also rode for Bradford RCC makes a good case.
