CURRENT New Forest Cycling Club champion Gary Lock secured his first victory of the season in his club’s 12.8-mile time trial around the arduous Holmsley-Brockenhurst-Rhinefield circuit on Sunday,writes Bob Jolliffe……… Clocking 31min 11sec in cool, damp, but relatively still conditions, he beat last year’s winner, VC ST Raphael’s Andy Rivett, into second place by a handsome margin of 25 seconds.
Third place was taken by New Forest’s Ben Boardman, winner of the club’s 10-miler the previous weekend, in 32-09.
After prolonged heavy rain, the event was held in a short dry window. However, the inclement conditions reduced the field to just 10 brave starters.
Fourth place was taken by the Forest’s ever-improving James Bannister who, after being caught for a minute by Lock, fought hard to be dropped by only a further 11 seconds.
Stuart Peckham took fifth in 35-16 and newly signed-up Forest member Sacha Ring did well to finish just 11 seconds adrift with 35-27.
Another new member Jon Brooks clocked 36-33, old hand Phil Underwood 39-28, another newbie, Chris Conrath took ninth with 40-30 and “Come and Try It” rider Ros was tenth with 42-55.
In wet and windy weather in the Farnborough & Camberley CC event at Bentley the previous afternoon New Forest veteran Bob Jolliffe clocked his season’s fastest 10 of 29-01, while second claim member Martin Beale (VC St Raphael) was almost five minutes faster with 24-04.
Sotonia CC’s Stuart Martingale was on form with a cracking 22-33 while his 60-years-plus clubmate Dave Hanbury finished with 26-55 to his credit.
Last year’s winner Adam Topham (High Wycombe CC) failed to finish after breaking his chain within the first couple of miles.
Victory went to the RAF Cycling Association’s Justyn Cannon win a sparkling 20-47 from Kingston Wheelers’ Steve Irwin (21-17) and John McClelland of Prestige Velo Club (21-22).
