Talented junior rider Luke Goodwill powered to overall victory at the Horsham Cycling 10-mile event in West Sussex on Saturday morning, while Katie Simmonds (Horsham Cycling) was top female rider.

Goodwill, 17 and riding for Backstedt Bike Performance Junior RT, covered the course near Steyning in 20-14 to take overall victory by 29 seconds from Cris Coxon (Brighton Mitre CC), while third spot went to the promoting club’s own Lewis Reeves in 21-07.

Simmonds clocked 25-20 to take the women’s prize and was the only female competitor.

Nik Allen (Team TMC) was fastest road bike with 22-08 and was also part of the winning team having been joined by Tom Houghton and Kevin Plummer for an aggregate time of 1-05-11.

Goodwill’s time was a personal best by ten seconds, and his first open time trial victory. More used to road racing, Goodwill is currently 21st in the National Junior Road Series prior to Sunday’s latest round, the Hatherleigh Road Race in Devon.

Simmonds has enjoyed some good recent form, placing second in the women’s event at the Maldon and District CC 50-mile event and fourth at the Reading CC 50 last month. Her next big event is expected to be the National 100-Mile Championships next month.

The G10/97 course takes riders from Steyning to Shoreham and back on the A283, turning at the junction with the A27. Conditions were still and warm when the event began at 7am.

The event was also a district heat of the National Youth Championships with Noah Wheller (Preston Park YCC) clocking 22-13 and his team-mate Luca Geddes Gaso 26-00.
