Reading CC Colin Roberts Memorial Open 10 Mile Time Trial
H10/1 - Pangbourne/Thatcham - 5 May 2001

 

My first attempt at promoting an event. All seemed to go well with the slight exception of Jon Mulholland who sustained a grazed ankle on his way to the start. This did not prevent him being one of just four people who improved on the day.

Top seed Richard Prebble scored an emphatic win, underlining his current form by covering the distance in 20:34, putting just over a minute into his closest challenger, Robin Jackson (formerly of Reading CC), 21:35. James Millard completed the top placings with 21:46.

Of Reading CC riders, the fast-improving Peter Graham was highest-placed with 22:47. Fastest woman was Gail Hannah with 25:44. Best vet on standard was Dave Jones with +6:46, best (and only) young rider was Tony Parker, and best improver was Chris Lovibond who took 2 minutes 54 seconds off his previous best.

Stewart House made the most of his first outing on a new bike to get within 1 second of his personal best and place sixth. Sunny and dry conditions saw a near-complete turnout but a strong north-easterly breeze moderated both temperature and times and made the last mile to the finish particularly hard.
