2 and 3 March TT Reports

RATAE RC 10

The first of the popular Gilmorton 10’s run by Ratae RC was held on Saturday, with 3 Welland Valley CC riders taking part.

A superb ride from juvenile Kian Traynor, backing up a strong cyclocross season, resulted in a strong 26:35 on a rolling course.

Matt Plews was the fastest WVCC rider, with 24:27, enough for 8th, and Charlie Simpson with 30:34.

Mark Bell Memorial 20 Mile TT, Islip

Mark Bell was a member of the Kettering C.C. and an up and coming racing man. He died tragically whilst competing in a time-trial in 1994.

Held in cold and very wet conditions on the rolling NC1A course, WVCC riders put in some strong performances, with Linda Hubbard being fastest lady with 55:27.

Jon Durnin stopped the clock with 51:33, and Adrian Reed 52:49.

Thanks to our friends Ratae RC and Kettering CC for organising two cracking events.
