Stephen Whitewick (G A Cycles) won the fifteenth edition of the Glenn Longland 2 day at Downton in Hampshire. Whitewick had entered the New Forest Brewery 10 but not early enough, so his entry was returned. Undeterred, Whitewick signed on for some unacustomed road racing, albiet weighted towards the testers.
Will Stephenson (Bournemouth Arrow/Hotel Collingwood) added to his impressive palmares this season by winning the opening 2.4 mile prologue. Stephenson climbed Botley down in 4.04 to win the opening stage by 6 seconds from Tim Wallis (Southampton Uni), Andy Bryson (Cannodale Racing) claimed third , a further 4 seconds back.
The following 42km handicap road race was won by Tony Kiss (Stratford CC) after a frantic chase across the heathland roads of the New Forest.
Wallis held off Stephenson for second place. The Bournemouth Arrow Junior held a slender 6 second lead on GC at the end of stage 2, Whitewick finished in the bunch without losing time and was licking his lips at the thought of the following day's 37km TT. Guesting for G A Cycles, the utag-yamaha rider has had a very good year, a bronze medal in the National 100 but 8th place in the National 10 gives Whitewick most satisfaction, and there is "more to come"
The predictable course record ride the following morning on the sporting 37km route, saw whitewick take his final win of the year. Harry Bulstrode (Cannondale Racing) took second place and overtook Stephenson in the general classification. It was another impressive performance from the 17 year old, 1st on stage 1 & 3rd on stages 2&3, confirming his promise.
Multi-National time trial champion Glenn Longland puts on a great little race with a great atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year.
