The Final Evening bash down the A3, on the P883 (Petersfield Bypass) didn't quite live up to its expectations. Once again the wind was funnelling down the course from Butser Hill making the outward leg very quick, but it is the return into the wind up to the finish where it hurts. The majority of the riders who had ridden the course the previous week were around 25-30 seconds down this week. However, there were four "PB's" from the younger generation & a new course record, so not all gloom & doom. Chris Bartley (AS Test Team) who set the course record in May on the P881 at 18:22 set a new P833 record at erm . . . 18:22 equalling his pb, well it does stop any confusion! The previous course record holder James Rix (Team Bottrill) was thirty five seconds down on Bartley. Kevin Tye (VeloRefined Aerosmiths) took third place and the 1st Vets prize with a 19:09. Tom Temple (Primera-Teamjobs) wasn't far behind in 8th place (19:40) to take the Junior prize.
The first woman Vicky Gill from Winchester (DRAG2ZERO) was out on her own taking the women's award with a 21:14. Second place was promoting team Angela Carpenter closely followed by Kelly Stokes (Portsmouth Tri) & Caitlin Peters (i-team Cyclists Club)
This was the final event in the ...a3crg Summer Series, fifteen events all open and thirteen of them at a budget busting five pounds. Off the fifteen evening events that were run (all open), with times and national points counting, there were six courses used , events were for 10, 15 & 25 miles, new course records were set plus National records & age group records gained. When you stop to think about it ...a3crg have achieved a hell of lot for an evening series, but none of this would have been possible without the enthusiasm from the riders and help from riders too marshal and help with the events. Surely a model to be picked up for other clubs to follow.
