Kimber and Weymouth victorious in Devon
George Kimber and Maria Weymouth were fastest male and female riders respectively at the Royal Navy and Royal Marines CA 10-mile time trial on the popular Buckfastleigh course in Devon on Sunday morning.
Kimber (Embark Spirit BSS) covered the S4/10 in 19-03 to win on the day by 16 seconds from Conrad Moss (Nopinz), while third was the promoting club’s own Tom Scorer (RNRMCA) who was 34 seconds slower than Kimber.
Conditions were near perfect with no wind and dry roads, but despite that the course record held by Marcin Bialoblocki remains well and truly on the shelf.
“I was fairly pleased with my ride but would’ve been nice to go sub 19!” said Kimber. “I went hard to the turn and was expecting more of a tailwind on the return leg. The final drag is a good way to empty to legs.
“My post-race reward was a full English in Moretonhampstead Cafe!” added Kimber, who is next in action at the Grand Prix de la Somme in France next weekend.
Mid-Devon CC’s Maria Weymouth was fastest female in 25-07, giving her the win over Gail Wong (Holsworthy Peloton) by 1-32 with Caitlin Moss (Mid-Devon CC) being third fastest female. Only Weymouth rode a time trial bike, with Wong being quickest on a road bike.
“A year after a bad, non-racing, cycling accident and after only racing a couple of times this season, I can honestly say I have never wanted to race more than today,” said Maria Weymouth.
“Due in part to the help of Carol Royle, a PhD student at the University of Worcester, who gave me free EMDR therapy, and with regained confidence, dry roads and low winds I was hoping for a good race.
“I felt good, my pacing was correct, however the day was deceptively slow. But I was thrilled to be first lady.
“My plan now is a solid winter's training with the aim to race the National 10-Mile Championship next year.”
