Kings Lynn CC 15.2

Daniel Chambers recorded his first win of the season at the King’s Lynn CC 15-mile time trial on Saturday, with Amy Sole finishing as the fastest female rider in the event near Stoke Ferry in Norfolk.

Riding for Bicester Millennium CC, Chambers set an unbeaten 32-51 to finish ahead of host club rider Richard Camp, who clocked 33-55 to seal second, while Mike Padfield of North Norfolk Wheelers clinched third with 34-41.

Chambers had finished in the top ten at the Northampton and District CA 10-mile time trial earlier this season, and now has a win to his name thanks to a ride which saw him finish over a minute ahead of his nearest competitor.

In the women’s category Sole (Full Moo Cycling) recorded 39-37 to claim the top prize, ahead of Judy Brown (Newmarket cycling & Triathlon Club) who finished in 45-01.

This was also her first victory of the season after finishing a close second in the women’s category at the Ely and District CC 10-mile time trial back in May.

“It was seriously hot, and quite breezy, out on the course,” said Sole.

“Annoyingly, the traffic was very heavy and I got delayed considerably behind a tractor which was a shame as I was hoping for a faster time. But it’s about showing up and facing any challenges that come your way.”

Wayne Hill of Bourne Wheelers took home the prize for fastest finisher on a road bike, clocking 45-17, while in the 50-59 veterans category Andy Kennedy (Ipswich BC) topped the standings in 36-32.

In the 60 plus veterans field it was Nicholas Webber of CC Sudbury who crossed the line in 37-09 to finish as the fastest competitor.

This 15-mile event, run on the B15/8 course, begins on Mepal access road where it proceeds along the A142 before retracing its routes to finish at the gates of the shooting club upon the hill.
