James Gilfillan (Team Feat) won the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 25 mile Time Trial, on the Upton course, west of Poole. The world age group triathlon champion put nearly 2 minutes into his nearest challenger, Tom Alliban (Revo Racing).
On what most riders described as a “good morning” the 62 strong field showed only 9 improvements. Sometimes no wind does not equal fast times. Gilfillan has recently ridden the Race across America (RAAM) and had too much in his legs for the pure cyclists.
Gary Dighton (Poole Wheelers) came third, leading the winning team of Terry Icke & Steve Birtwistle. Dighton had spent the week in France watching the tour and felt refreshed, due to the cancellation of the midweek club event, Icke had not raced for a week and felt “rubbish”.
