Chris Fennell and Bronwen Ewing were celebrating victories in the Bill Philbrook Memorial 25-mile time trial, staged by Wigmore CC near Brenzett in Kent on Sunday.

22-year-old Thanet-based Chris Fennell (The Independent Pedaler) clocked 50-20 to take a convincing win ahead of his brother Nicholas Fennell (Thanet RC) who was 2-24 behind. Third spot was shared between Team Wiggins 19-year-old Oliver Robinson and John Cockrill (Abellio-SFA RT), another 1-05 off the pace.

And in the women’s event, veteran Bronwen Ewing (Rye and District Wheelers) clocked 1-00-08 to finish as fastest female by more than five minutes from Judith Hagger (COREtriathlon) with Jane Wiley (7Oaks Tri) third.

The Junior event was won by Theo Tadros (Trainsharp), obviously following in his father Pete’s footsteps followed in second place by the promoting club’s Samuel Painter (Wigmore CC) whose great form saw him winning a road race last weekend.

In the Veteran’s category, Andrew Meilak (VeloRefined Aerosmiths) was back to winning form with Nick Wilson (Rye and Dist Wh) finishing second and Bronwen Ewing finishing third.

The team prize this year (as last year) was won by the Thanet RC and consisted of Nicholas Fennell, Huck Garip and Adrian Hawkins.

And last but by no means least the Bill Philbrook Memorial Trophy, donated by the family to the fastest Wigmore CC rider, goes this year to Keith Walker.

For Chris Fennell this victory was his fourth open time trial victory of the year, following wins in the VTTA National 30-mile Championship, the Kent CA 10 and the West Kent RC 10 all in April.

And for Ewing this was not her first victory of the year, having been the fastest female in the Southborough and District Wheelers 10-mile event on New Year’s Day.

The Q25/12 course takes riders from a start on the A259 west of New Romney, then up to Brenzett where they turn left and down the road for a short distance. After turning at Brookland they head back up the A2070, tackling the hill at Hamstreet and on to the fringes of Ashford before turning back south to the finish.
