...3crg Mid Summer 25, Report/Results


...a3crg Mid-Summer 25 mile TT P884b

Ok, it was the hottest night of the year, but that didn't mean riders were happy to sit back & imagine they were powering a pedalo sipping a Pina Colada round the Bracklesham Bay Marina, no it was full on dedication & PB hunting, Dave Collard Berry reports........

The Course record 48:20 wasn't beaten, only matched by the joint winners Mark Smith (Crawley Wheelers) and Pat Wright (Paceline). Third place was taken by Gary Chambers in 00:48:47 setting a new Royal Navy record for the distance.

The fastest of the South DC riders was Tom Pritchard (Hants Road Club) in 7th place with a 00:50:34 but Blazing Saddles took the 1st Team Prize.
Laura Bartlett (...a3crg) who recorded a 03:57:02 in the ECCA 100 at the weekend was the fastest woman with a 00:55:57 beating her team mate Angela Carpenter by a mere four seconds. Backed up by Zoe Taylor, Laura & Angela were able to set a new South DC Women's 25 mile Team record, breaking one that has stood for nearly 25 years. Apart from records already mentioned there were a few others we have heard of plus riders taking minutes rather than seconds off their PB's. With those results set on the P884b/25 we think it is now time to think about scrapping the P885/25, just how could you entice riders onto a slower course?
