Mike Coyle of Brighton Mitre continues his good form of yesterday's hill climb as he wins on this extremely challenging course. Dave Dent of Wightlink and Charles Mitchell of ...a3crg are the other podium finishers.
Dave Shepherd of GS Stella does well to finish in 5th place as he rode the last three miles with a slow puncture which took him off into the grass on a high speed descent towards the finish. Interesting times! |

COURSE RECORD!!!
A superb ride by Jamie Lowden of Neon Velo in 3:49.1 saw him win by about 10 seconds from Pete Tadros. Pete at least had the consolation of taking both the Sussex CA Hill Climb title and the Sussex CA Veterans Hill Climb title. Not bad for less than 4 minutes work. East Grinstead CC were the fastest team on aggregate and took the Sussex title. Tamar Vanderhaas of Lewes Wanderers had to stop part way to reseat her chain but was never in danger of failing to collect the ladies prize and title since she was the only entrant. |

Well this event certainly lived up to its title billing as the afternoon was bathed in glorious warm sunshine. Riders took advantage of this and the (mostly) nice road surface to record a bagful of PBs.
A time of 19:01 was only sufficient for equal 3rd place for Kevin Tye and Jamie Lowden as James Boynan and Rob Sharland were even faster with 18 minute rides. Lesley Walkling was the ladies winner, and the perennial Terry Icke was the vets winner. |

A tight finish in a field of real quality as just 8 seconds separates the first four riders.
Chris McNamara (Pedal Heaven), James Lowden (Neon Velo) and Keith Lea (Paceline RT) take the podium places, whilst Pete Tadros (In-Gear Quickvit Trainsharp RT) has the consolation of being the fastest rider from an ESCA affiliated club and thus takes maximum points. Well done too for another great ride by Tadros - but this time it's son Theo who was riding in his second ever time trial. Philippa Jenkins (Southborough & District Wheelers) took the ladies prize, and Eastbourne Rovers took the team prize. |

The newly crowned National 10 Mile Time Trial Champion, Richard Bussell, turned up with his much vaunted £965 bike constructed from hand-me-downs and put in a stunning ride worthy of his status. The RST Sport/Aero Coach rider made light of the challenging undulations of the Surrey Hills based course as astonishingly he rode in excess of 30 mph to record a time of 19:54.
Nick Malins and Eddie Allen were left trailling (comparatively) in second and third places respectively. Tamar Vanderhaas (Lewes Wanderers) won the ladies event, and Mick Deen of the host club took the prize for Veterans on Standard. Richard Bussell also took time out to win the tandem event as well, riding with Steve Croggon of Beacon Roads CC. |

Steve Kane of Team ASL360 records a fine win. London Dynamo put in a very strong performance with three of the top five places and win the team prize with an aggregate time of just under 3 hours which is excellent on such a challenging course.
Sarah Matthews of ...a3crg win the ladies prize, and the perennial David French of Weybridge Wheelers won the hub gear event. The many non-starters who opted out because of rain in the morning misjudged it as the weather cleared up as predicted an hour before the start. Those who rode were rewarded with weather that was considerably better than the state of the road surface on the country lanes! |

Postponed from 20th July due to mist and rain this rescheduled event benefitted from a nice clear evening. All the riders were out on time and all off the road by 19:55hrs.
This early finish was due in part to the blistering pace set by this fast field. John Dewey of Dorking CC led the way with a cracking 19:07, barely three seconds ahead of James Boyman of Farnham Road Club. The fastest lady was Rachael Elliott of Newbury Road Club (22:13) just ahead of Lesley Walkling of VC St. Raphael. Fareham Wheelers took the team prize. |

To complete a horrendous season for the BAR events the 100 was played out in identical weather to the 25 and the 50. Each event started in the dry but well before the finish, as predicted by the Met Office, turned into monsoon conditions with cold, dangerous gusting winds. Almost half the field failed to start or abandoned mid-race. The slow times are indicative of the problems faced.
Dominic Hill of Bec CC was fastest rider with 4:09:32. Congratulations to Rupert Robinson of Crawley Wheelers as he takes the SCA title with 4:10:18. Mike O'Gorman won the SCA Vets title in a time of 4:24:59, and his club Worthing Excelsior finish ahead of Lewes Wanderers CC to take the team title. No Sussex lady completed the event. A huge debt of gratitude is owed to those helpers and marshals who had to stand or sit around in such weather conditions for well over three hours. |

In direct contrast to the Met Office prediction only 24 hours earlier the weather conditions were truly awful as monsoon conditions lashed the riders and giant lakes made the road surface treacherous.
James Rix of Crawley Wheelers took the title with a 1:55:45, just 33 seconds ahead of Simon McNamara from South Downs Bikes. Simon unfortunately punctured just 5 miles from the end but did manage to borrow a spare wheel so that he could complete the course, albeit and somewhat scarily without any effective brakes due to the difference in rim width. Long distance specialist Dave Shepherd of GS Stella completed the podium. Sarah Matthews of ...a3crg continued her excellent season by adding the ladies 50 title to the 10 and the 25 that she had won earlier in the season. Mike O'Gorman of Worthing Excelsior CC won the veterans 50 title despite being knocked onto the ground mid-race by an inattentive driver. Ignoring the injuries sustained Mike remounted to complete the event as it is a BAR qualifier. Worthing Excelsior CC took the team prize. |

As is always the case, the 25 event proved popular and there was a large entry from SCA affiliated riders on the course that starts in Sussex and finishes in Hampshire.
The best performance was by a member of a newly affiliated club as Simon McNamara of South Downs Bikes smashed his personal best with an excellent 51:10 to finish second overall. James Rix of Crawley Wheelers was close behind, and Nick Dwyer recorded an excellent 52:57 to finish in seventh place. Age group winners included Mark Smith of Crawley Wheelers (53:13), Nick Dwyer of Lewes Wanderers (52:57), Mike O'Gorman of Worthing Excelsior (55:53).

Well something had to give. Would it be Pete Tadros' magnificent run of consecutive wins in this challenging event, or would it be Chris Mac's superb undefeated run of time trials this season?
It was Pete who came out on top in this one. Chris did have to walk his bike around a blockage due to a bin collection lorry in a narrow lane already congested with parked cars, but even so Pete's winning margin was sufficient that eventually it was not decisive. Great weather. Warmer and hardly any wind, not even high up on the Downs. |

Pete Tadros does it again! As expected. Some surprising results in there too.
There was an absolutely stand out ride from 12 year old Alistair Canning (VC de Londres) in his first ever time trial. A time of 24:53 is excellent but if he hadn't been penalised 1:40 for a late start then he have finished in second place. Quite remarkable. Also an excellent ride from 18 year old Joe Kingsman (Hastings & St Leonards) who would also have been quicker if he hadn't messed up his start. |

A challenging day all round. This new course was created because long term roadworks meant that the usual course was unavailable. Essentially 3 laps of the tough 10 course (but fortunately not 30 miles!) this course definitely earns its SPOCO rating. As if that wasn't bad enough riders had to contend with a flock of escaped sheep wandering around in Ockley together with the resultant police and vehicles involved, plus having to negotiate horse riders on the course too. Some riders were luckier than others.
Huge respect is due to the three riders who beat the hour mark: John Dewey (Dorking CC), Liam Maybank (Twickenham CC) and Jack Donaldson (In-Gear Quickvit Trainsharp RT). Equally to Pat Wright (Paceline RT) who came fourth in 1:00:49 on a roadbike. Well done indeed. London Dynamo were team winners and Alice Lethbridge (gbcycles.co.uk) wins the ladies' event. |

Nice sunny weather and warmer temperatures than recently provided a welcome relief, albeit with an extremely strong westerly wind to make this tough event even tougher.
It seems that Chris McNamara of Pedal Heaven has picked up just where he left off last season with continuing strong form. He followed on from his win in last week's Redhill event with another imperious performance. His time of 53:34 was over a minute quicker than second place man Liam Maybank of Twickenham CC. Tom Glandfield of Lewes Wanderers CC, in fifth place with 56:00. was the quickest SCA affiliated rider, narrowly pipping Pete Morris of Team ASL360 by a mere six seconds. Amy Forshaw of Trainsharp RT was the quickest of the four women starters with a very creditable time of 1;06:51. Tim Stevens of 34 Nomads CC was the fastest veteran on standard and East Grinstead CC took the team honours.

In a high quality field defending champion Chris McNamara takes the honours in the season's opening time trial and Alice Lethbridge wins the womens' prize.
Particular mention goes to Pete Tadros who finished in a remarkable 10th place given that he rode the last two miles carrying his saddle clamped between his teeth. |
