From Alan Rosner: Chris\'s family have expressed their sincere thanks for the many tributes made. It is an indication of his personality and the impact he had on cycling. To perpetuate his memory, a legal framework is being put in place to set up this fund. Its function will be to provide support for young local riders. Whilst details of the funeral are not available at present, the family have asked that instead of floral tributes, donations are made to the fund. There are plans to hold a memorial cycle ride, details will be announced.
The Dengie Marshes Tour will be held in memory of Chris. In addition to an engraved award to the winner, there will be one for the most aggressive rider. An approach to racing that was typical of Chris.
On behalf of Chris\'s family & close friends, I thank everyone for their support in what has been a tragic time for us.

Api Metrow have won the Eastern Road Race League for 2007, with Api rider Kevin Chambers taking the individual title. Despite a spirited fightback from Cambridge CC, the 2005 champions, Martin Meades' 9th place in the final event gave Api a 35 point winning margin. Cambridge had clawed back a sizeable mid-season Api lead to a handful of points going into the Finsbury Park event, and Andy Lyons of Heronsport CS had cut Chambers' lead to 25 points, but neither Cambridge nor Lyons could score points, leaving the top two in each competition as they were. Phil Hetzel of Ipswich BS, who won the Finsbury Park event, moved up to third place in the individual standings. Congratulations to all concerned for giving the 2007 ERRL such a thrilling climax.
