Victory for Hall and McGurk in Cramlington CC 18
Phil Hall (Breeze Bikes RT) and Angela McGurk (Blaydon CC) were fastest male and female riders respectively, as Cramlington CC staged an 18-mile time trial in Northumberland on Saturday afternoon.
The penultimate time trial on the season in the North East District, the event on the M18 near Ponteland had been shortened and switched from the M21 hilly course due to a poor road surface on the original course.
Veteran Hall was one of six riders to go under 40 minutes for the course, taking advantage of warm and sunny conditions. But a headwind for much of the course stunted many riders’ hopes for fast times, especially later in the field.
Hall clocked 38-49 to take the win by 30 seconds from Eddie Addis (RT23), while Jack Rees (Ribble Pro Cycling) was third, another 13 seconds off the pace.
“It was great to end my TT season with my first win for 2018, especially having spent the last fortnight over-indulging in Majorca on holiday with my family and not going near a bike!” said Hall. “What was particularly satisfying was to get a PB of over a minute, so I guess planning regular holidays is a must for next season!”
Silver medallist at the National Team Time Trial Championships last month, McGurk clocked 49-04 to win by 59 seconds from Rachel Walmsley (Tyneside Vagabonds CC), while third went to North Tyneside Riders’ Christine Burns, 2-49 behind McGurk’s time.
Fastest road bike and 12th overall was Blaydon CC’s Marcus Cram with 40-50, while first rider from the promoting Cramlington CC was Adam Wilson, 42-41.
