...a3crg 10, Report/Results

It was an odd night on the A3 Wednesday evening, traffic was very low and the start-line was depleted as riders failed to turn up, writes Dave Collard-Berry. Either riders had decided that they had rather go off to Brittany to watch the Tour or was there a Beach Volley Ball championships were being held on Hayling Island? Never the less the start line crew managed to cope with the nineteen missing riders from the start sheet.

Rider's times appeared to be in the region of 30 seconds to one minute slower than when the course was last used on the 30th May, except for one rider. Chris Bartley who broke the course record in May was just three seconds off his best proving despite the conditions cream rises to the top. There wasn't all gloom and doom as a few riders managed to better their times, 16 year old Freya Richardson (Portsmouth North End CC) chopped just over a minute off her pb with her 24:32 and 13 year old Peter Drabble from Fleet brought his pb down by 1:06, both riders worth keeping an eye on. The other youngster posting a good time on the night was Thomas Day (Poole Wheelers) who finished in 13th place with 20:50 and will be having his sixteenth birthday next week, hopefully for some of the older riders he may soon discover "Beach Vollyball!
