Adam Wild and Fiona Burnie topped the podium at the Barnesbury CC 25-mile time trial that took place near Three Horse Shoes in Northumberland on Sunday morning.

Espoir Wild (GS Metro) topped the podium in the men’s event and set a new course record with a time of 48-40 and became the first rider to go sub 50 minutes for a 25-mile course in the North East district.

“I’m pretty buzzing with that ride!” he said. “There was a lot of talk beforehand about me getting the first 49 on an M course and then Spindata predicted me a 48!”

“Today was a good practice run before the National 25, as I’m a bit out of touch with shorter races at the minute. I basically rode it at 50 pace and then went full gas for the last six miles.  I’ll hopefully pace things better next weekend.

“It’s always nice to be part of a good team performance and Fiona continued her exquisite 2019 form with a solid win.”

Fiona Burnie (GS Metro) topped the standing in the women’s event after finishing her run with a time of 56-38.

“I was very much looking forward to today because I’m having a blast doing time trials now that I have a time trialling bike,” said Burnie. “I was aiming for a 57 to 58, so I’m delighted with 56-38.”

“We had a lot of good performances for GS Metro today – it’s always nice to race with club mates and it was particularly good that Adam had a phenomenal ride, getting the CR by nearly two minutes.”

Keith Murray (Drag2zero) finished his run with a time of 50-50 to clinch the second spot on the podium and Tom Hutchinson (Team Kirkley Cycles) finished third with a time of 51-04.

The fastest junior rider on the day was Sam Murray (Drag2Zero), who managed to carve 2-15 off the course record he set in 2018 in the same event to record 53-05.

Musselburgh RCC veteran Neil Lawson made the long trip south to try to secure a sub-hour time for 25 miles, and he went home happy with a 59-55.

The Stan Sadler Trophy for the fastest Barnesbury CC novice went to Michael Charlton with 57-32, while the Jack Burnley Trophy for the best Barnesbury CC rider on handicap went to William Sharman.

Phil Hall (Breeze Bikes) was top over-40 veteran, while fastest over-50 was Phillip Kennell (GS Metro) and Nev Martin (GS Metro) was best over-60 rider.
