Event Info

Thank you again for a great evening of sport and honest competition. The event produced some fast times on the course despite challenging windy conditions with over 31 of the 65 field coming in under ‘the hour’. 

The battle for the Johnny Rankin trophy could not have been closer with one second separating Keith Murray (Strategic Lions) and Danny Grieves (GS Metro) with third place going to last years winner Carl Donaldson (GS Metro) in one of his first Open events since his unfortunate collarbone break earlier in the season. 

In the womens category, Angela Hibbs (Team Wattcycle) continued her great form this year with the win and a 17th place in the overall field ahead of Ingrid Shepherd (Sunderland Clarion). 

The team competition was once again well contested with GS Metro taking the win for the second consecutive year ahead of Breeze Bikes RT and Sunderland Clarion. 

The ever competitive Nev Martin (Adept Precision RT) picked up the Vets on Standard competition in what is always a very spirited category.     

The Barnesbury CC Jack Burnley Club trophy was picked up by Steve Clark, with Peter Manners and Ian Bryan’s handicap weighting proving close on the night with less than 30 seconds between the top 5 riders.  

This continues to confirm the strength of competition in Time Trials in the North East Area across almost all categories is on the increase, as participation rises. It was also great to see new local clubs such as Blaydon CC and North Tyneside Riders participating and competing for the first time in this event. For those entering an event for the first time and those returning to completion after a while, I hope we will see you back again soon. 

I would also send a message to the ever friendly Brian Craven (Tyneside Vagabonds) to mend quickly following his accident whilst warming up from all of his friends and competitors. 

I hope everyone enjoyed the evening and apologies that one of the categories was not fully announced on the night and one incorrectly recorded time resulted in a mix up with the team category. Prize money for the winners who did not collect on the evening will be posted shortly. 

Finally, thanks must go to all of those who contributed baked goods for the HQ. There were too many excellent cakes and snacks to mention individually but it certainly assisted in keeping everyone hanging around at the end!
