VERULAM CC SPORTING COURSE TIME TRIAL (MILLENNIUM TROPHY ROUND 6)
- 27.4 m - SAT 3rd JULY
Seven North Roaders competed in the
Verulam CC 26 mile time trial on Saturday 3rd July. The course
comprised one lap of the Whitwell road race circuit and then took the
riders to Hitchin, up the one in six hill to Great Offley and finished
just outside Whitwell. The weather was very blustery with
frequent showers.
Neil Lewis was fastest North Roader in
1.12.33, closely followed by Richard Somerset in 1.13.58.
Further down the field there was proof (if it was ever needed) that
lean = good, fat = bad, with the svelte Alan Harvey (1.17.10) and
Chris Bullock (1.17.59) beating the more amply covered Chris Glithero
(1.18.07) and Bruce Metheringham (1.18.22). James McAleese,
riding his first "man's" event finished in 1.22.26. He
will do better next time and is already plotting his revenge in the
Memorial 50 in September.
The event was won by Mark Wilkes in 1.5.20
after the favourite, Michael Hutchinson, punctured.
