TIME TRIAL RESULTS - 2019

SCA Championship 15
Due to roadworks this event was held on a decidedly SPOCO emergency course created specially for the occasion. Somewhat frustratingly the roadworks were removed just before the event but it was too late to switch back to the usual G15/93. However the revised route proved to be popular and will be used next season.
Nik Allen (Worthing Excelsior CC) took the win in 32:14, ahead of Howard Bayley (Blazing Saddles) in 32:21 and Pete Tadros (trainSharp) in 32:33. Karen McGrath (Worthing Excelsior CC) won the ladies category after the only other female competitor was a DNS. Despite the arduous course profile new SCA records were set: Pete Tadros, Will Reeder, Conall Yates (trainSharp) set a team time of 1:38:39 which was 2 mins 8 seconds faster than the mark set by South Downs Bikes last season. Chris Lord (Brighton Excelsior CC) set a new Vets record of +11:17 which beat the previous record by a remarkable 2 mins 1 second. This adds to the 25 mile SCA record that he attained last month. Theo Tadros sets a new mark for the Juniors with a fine 34:30. Some existing VTTA Surrey/Sussex age records were beaten as well: V47 Nik Allen (Worthing Excelsior CC) 32:14 V48 Peter Tadros (trainSharp) 32:33 V49 Ben Cumpstone (Brighton Mitre CC) 33:50 V66 Chris Lord (Brighton Excelsior CC) 34:05 V78 Alan Robinson (Central Sussex CC) 42:30 |

SCA 2-UP TTT
Not a great start to the season - and very frustrating once again for the event promoters. The late appearance of traffic controlled roadworks at Partridge Green caused the late cancellation of this event.

SCA Hard Riders
Last season this event was snowed off. This time around it suffered from Storm Freya and about half the field opted not to start.
The overall winner was Mark Smith (Crawley Wheelers) with Simon McNamara (South Downs Bikes) on a road bike and Stuart Bettis (South Downs Bikes) the next best placed SCA affiliated riders. Crawley Wheelers were the team winners. Dave Dent (GS Stella) recorded an excellent time to secure the win in the road bike event. Olivia Webb (Eastbourne Rovers CC) was the fastest woman in this category. |
