WEEKEND REPORT 24AUG09
WEEKEND RACE RESULTS 24th AUGUST 09:
TIME TRIALS:
Thursday night both Stewart King and Bob Lambert headed over to the Maidenhead and District CC 10TT at Fifield. On not a particularly fast course and with a headwind they both did respectable times. Stewart placed 11th in 25.18 and Bob placed 17th in 26.16. The event was won overall in 22.48 by AW Cycles Neil Cooper.
A record breaking spree was the order of the weekend for one group of Club members. On Saturday Chrissy Radon won the North Hants Ladies 25 mile time trial in an almost unbelievable time of 54 minutes and 6 seconds. This time makes her the 8th fastest woman of all time over 25 miles in the UK, an absolutely stunning achievement that marks Chrissy as a very special athlete. This ride on the H25/8 course at Farnham was another Club record for Chrissy blitzing her previous mark of 56.23 by a substantial margin.
On Saturday in the Team Sanjan 10TT Greg Lewis recorded 23.30 and Dave Johnson in 21.29.
On Sunday morning in South Wales in the Hirwain 25 mile time trial, a team of our lads went on a recording breaking and personal best frenzy. Adam Topham led the group home with a stunning time of 50.57, a PB by 1.28 placing him 5th. This is also a double club record as it broke the men’s senior record held by Neil Coventry since 1993 and set new veterans actual record previously held by Dave Johnson.
Close on his heels was Dave Johnson with a 53.01, Chris Starling 54.54 (PB), Nick Calkin 56.50 (PB), Richard Davies 57.08 (PB), Cliff Grant 57.57 (PB).
The aggregate team for Adam, Dave and Chris was a new senior men’s team record of 2.38.52. The aggregate team time for Adam, Dave and Nick was a new veteran’s actual team record of 2.40.48. Staggeringly Adam’s time put his name against four new club records.
The event was won overall by Hutch in 46.01 which was 4 seconds outside of his competition record and was an amazing 4 minutes ahead of Jeff Jones who placed second.
Also on Sunday, Chris Greig braved the heat and strong winds to ride the 12 hour. He clocked up 228 miles.
