(Promoted for and on behalf of Cycling Time Trials under their rules and Regulations)
Course P886/17 ~ Sunday 24th April 2016
The VTTA (Wessex Group) 2-up Team Time Trial took place this year on a new sporting course based around Rake and Rogate skirting the West Sussex and Hants border. I the past this was one of the biggest events in the South’s calendar but had ben dropped due to small field sizes, therefore with austerity the length was reduced from 25 miles, moved to the east and placed as an early season event.
Was it a success? Well it was a small field but plenty of quality riders. Off at 40 and in the 40-49 group Seb Ader paced by Charlie Mitchell made the Time Keepers sit up as they came over the line in 00:40:31, up to then the fastest times were round the forty-five minute mark.
Kevin Tye (2016 VTTA 30 mile Champion) paced by Andrew Meilak was expected to be close to the top but were just over a minute off Ader & Mitchell’s time but had done enough to win the over 50’s Group with a plus of 00:06:35, however in second place on stand was Sarah Matthews paced by Drew Hosie with a plus of 00:04:36.
In the non-vets event the fast boys from Southampton University Charlie Leech & Thomas Key were in the mix with a 00:41:42 but it was the Fareham Wheelers duo of Gary Chambers and James Copeland that made the other riders wince with the only sub forty minute ride with a 00:39:48.
The Wessex Championship was a bit of a ...a3crg Fest with Ader and Mitchel taking the Christchurch Trophy for fastest 40-49 on Standard and the TI Raleigh Trophy for the fastest Vets Team. Sarah Mathews & Drew Hosie took the Ivor Jones Memorial Award as the fastest 50 + Wessex Team.
Will the event be back at Rake next season? Well we are open to all ideas where we can stage the event.
