Fastest female Joanna Patterson (The Independent Pedaler) was fastest overall too, clocking 20-01 to win the Croston Velo 10 on Sunday, while Kamil Waligora (East Lancashire RC) and John Morgan (Coveryourcar.co.uk) were jointly the quickest of the male riders in the event at Levens.

Waligora and Morgan both clocked a time of 20:06, while the final podium spot went to Ian Dobbie (West Lothian Clarion) who was just nine second behind at 20:15.

Despite having a very active season, it was only the first win of the year for Waligora. His highest placed finish of the season was third, having achieved that position three times throughout 2021.

This was Morgan’s highest placed finished of the season so far and a personal best by just one second, as well as his first podium finish.

Patterson was coming into this event in fantastic form, having placed third in the National 25-Mile Championships the week before as well as winning the National 100-Mile Championship in early July.
