Twenty competitors out of a registered twenty-seven attended for our first open of the season, which took place in overcast weather with showers. There was plenty of comment about a well organised, friendly event!
The win was taken by Tim Wood from Echelon Cycles, with a time of 56 minutes 45 seconds, also the fastest veteran, and a close second from Tony Chapman of Frome and District Wheelers with 56 minutes 55 seconds. The fastest lady was Amber Bullingham of Gloucester City Cycling Club with 1 hour 9 minutes 20 seconds. There were a total of five Gloucester City riders; the fastest was Matt Hill with 59 minutes 34 seconds, also the winner of the handicap trophy. Jake Sargent’s course record of 51-16 still stands, as does the women’s course record held by Ellie Mackman of 1-00-44, both from the race of 2021.
