Early fog thankfully cleared to leave good conditions with hardly any wind.
88 entries incl 14 road bikes. 20 DNS (fuel shortages to blame mainly !) and 4 DNF punctures.
I clocked 57:47 to knock a good margin off my 59:01 from back in April in the SCA…setting a new PB (my LTS PB at start of this year was 59:39) and my quickest 25 since 1993 before I jacked it all in for a number of years !
Happy with that, to complement last weekend’s 10 PB too. That’s 2021 TTs all done now for me

Just Colin T from WECC in this one. A full field entry (but minus a good few DNS’s) and good weather on the day.
Big congratulations to Colin for clocking 21:35 to practically equal his lifetime PB, and knocking 40 seconds off his 22:15 held since 2019.
Colin reported that he felt good….but suspected that it felt even better for Chris McNamara when he crossed the line to win with 18:24, albeit that was 3 seconds slower that his own course record !

For the 25 mile the road surface turned out to be the lesser issue due to farm traffic blocking roads and lanes on two out of three laps but he still managed a course PB by 13 seconds!
Needless to say the WECC SPOCO Competition is in the bag with one event to go (the Hard Riders)

DNF |
Four WECC riders took to the start line for the SCA 30 Mile championship, incorporating the WECC club 30 mile event. Andrew Lock, Ian Cheesman, Spencer Kirkham and Huw WIlliams were the brave souls. Whilst the winds were light and the temperature a very nice 17 degrees, rain was threatened and it didn't disappoint so it ended up being a very wet event.
Cheesy was very pleased to ridden a PB for course and distance by over 2 minutes and Spencer also PB'd as he'd never ridden a 30 before! Not sure what the reasons for DNF were but as both of their cars were gone from the car park I'm assuming that it was mechanical rather than crashes.

Having got himself (and Nicole) up for a 3:30 breakfast and having done great preparation Clive fell victim to bad luck in his first 100 for 10 years. In fact no WECC rider had done one since 2017.
Comment from Clive: Many thanks everyone 👍 Unfortunately whilst taking a drink I hit something in the road and double punctured so game over😖 It would have been easier to take if it was 13 miles in, but it was at 13 miles to go! with a big PB in the offing😖 . Thanks again but particularly to Nicole for following me around all morning then rescuing me from the roadside. Thanks to Jon & Tiffany and Steve Custance for roadside support and all the shouts from the WECC gang- it really does help 👍 ........Right how many more 100s are there this season? 🤔 |

Nolan and Andrew took advantage of the course and the benign conditions. Nolan recorded his fastest 10 of the season, whilst Andrew gained a PB.

Cheesy gained a personal course best for G25/89 by over a minute. This was despite the recent addition of another chicane roundabout on the course.
Clive Patterson-Lett did even better. It was his first 25 mile event for 4 years and he beat his previous PB of 1:04:53 by 50 seconds. Having already ridden a 50 he just needs a 10 time for a score in the vets BAR competition.
