Matt Burden (73 Degrees Bicycles) won the CC Weymouth 10 at Owermoigne on a perfect Sunday morning. Burden clocked 20:41 to beat promising junior Tom Day (Giant Halo CC) by 7 seconds. James Horton (VC St Raphael) salvaged 3rd spot wth 20:41 after being held up by farm traffic. Scratch man Gary Chambers (No Pinz) pulled out after feeling unwell during the week and Sam Wadsley (Primera-Teamjobs) missed the chance of a possible weekend double, suffering a rear wheel puncture on the start line. Wadsley had won the Bournemouth Arrow Good Friday event 48 hours earlier. Lizzy Stocker (IRIS RT) was fastest of the three women entered with 25:20. On a near windless morning the trip home from Winfrith was only marginally slower than the fast outward leg despite the agricultural activity.
It is nearly 20 years since Matt Illingworth won the National title on this unfashionable course on the A352 between Wool and Weymouth in Dorset. Riding for the short-lived Linda McCartney road team, Illingworth set a course record time of 20:17 on his way to the title in May 1999, Adam Topham (High Wycombe CC) established a new mark of 20:03 in 2014.
