Polly Wilding

Polly Wilding starting PB run

Our first event this year on JC5 took place last night, the 42 riders were met by beautiful weather, a light north easterly breeze and warm 17 degrees.

The conditions certainly helped as some fast times were recorded a number of which were PB’s, top of the table with a course PB of 21:25 was Ben Norbury, followed by Steve Hulme 22:28 and Matt Stephenson 22:40 (Wills Wheels), third best CCC rider Rob Dale 23:03.

Fastest amongst the ladies was Sue Blake 28:02, followed by Polly Wilding, PB 29:52 and Lesley Norbury 30:02

We had two “2 up’s” last night, the fastest in a scorching time of 23:20 was Liz Mathison and Mark Turnbull (Leigh Premier RC), the second was as equally impressive 12 year old Aaron & Dad, Mick Mansell (Lyme RC) in a PB 25:14.

Whilst its hard to single riders out when all had done so well,  but Mark Allen achieving 23:18 is brilliant and I’m sure a PB.

Well done to all riders.

Safety was once again paramount with clear signage and marshals highly visible on course mainly down to the organisational instructions left by Bob Norton club chairman, ably carried out by the team lead by Roy Hayhurst, some trying roles they hadn’t done before, all did an excellent job.

Tea and biscuits were provided, and kind comments were received from riders on the quality of the event.

Once again Congleton CC is excelling in the promotion and deivery of time trials amongst the local club scene.
