Miriam Jessett

Miriam Jessett was fastest female, while prolific time trial winner Chris Fennell was top man at the North Hampshire Road Club 10-mile time trial on Saturday afternoon.

A very warm afternoon with a brisk wind on the return leg led to a fast winning time of 18-11 for Fennell (The Independent Pedaler-Nopinz), which gave him the win by more than two minutes with Basingstoke Velo’s Tom Lane taking second in 20-15 and James Boyman (Hoops Velo) third in 20-42.

Meanwhile, Jessett (Team Kirkley Cycles) covered the H10/8 Bentley bypass course in 22-17 to win the women’s prize by 29 seconds from Danuta Tinn (Maidenhead and District CC), with Rapha CC rider Mandy Hibberd third in 24-02.

James O’Connell (Regents Park Rouleurs) was best espoir in 21-03, while the tandem prize went to Charlotteville CC duo Peter and David Butler in 23-34. And fastest veteran on standard was Danuta Tinn with a +7.15.

The popular course takes riders from the start on the A31 to the east of Bentley, round the bypass and down the Alton road through Upper Froyle and Holybourne before turning just before Alton and heading back up to the finish.

Fennell’s victory in the North Hampshire RC event makes it 13 wins from 13 events so far this season, an impressive run of form which includes the National Circuit Championship title as well as the National 100-Mile Championship crown.

And he is expected to add many other victories to his palmares, including the National 10, 25 and 50 as well as the Closed Circuit Championship.

Jessett’s victory comes after she placed second at the Houghton CC 25 last month, while she was one half of the winning tandem in the Allen Valley Velo 24.8-mile event earlier in June.
