Adam Topham (High Wycombe cc) won CC Weymouth’s Easter 10 but missed Matt Illingworth’s course record by 4 seconds and a £199 bonus. Illingworth clocked 20:17 on the unfashionable P451 Winfrith course back in 1999, winning the national championship. It was never a day for fast times but Topham made light of the conditions, powering into the cold north easterly that chilled the riders faces on the outward leg. The ride home is ever so slightly uphill and even with the wind on his back, Topham fell short of Illingworth’s mark, the final pull to the line saw the cash disappear. “The conditions were pretty tough, cold and windy but the record was on all the way until the last drag, the flag was just too far away, the money was going to charity, I just wanted the record” said the British Best All-rounder. Early season revelation, Gregg Parker continued his good run of form, his 21:15, a club record for the course. Parker had won the previous days Bournemouth Arrow 10 with a PB 20:59, taking a few local scalps along the way “Loads of turbo work using power and just doing my own thing. Winning my first open yesterday was very exciting but I felt it in the last third today, the power was sapping away” said the 48 year old. Chris Martin (Yeovil CC) finished a distant third in 22:18.Bryce Riglar & John Chapman backed up Parker's ride to give Weymouth the team prize for the first time in their own promotion..
