Both the time trial and road bike records were smashed at the A3Crg 22.5-mile event in Midhurst, Sussex on Sunday.

Conditions were perfect apart from the amount of traffic out on the roads but that didn’t stop the field from recording some remarkable times on a course that takes in Harting Hill, one of the steepest in Sussex.

In the road bike event, Craig Wallington (Sarum Velo) stopped the clock at 55.55 to beat David Pollard’s record of 1:00.58 set last year.

Such was the high standard that David broke his own course record but still only finished in seventh place.

Thomas Key of Primera-Teamjobs finished second in 56.08 and Ed Slot completed the podium for Sotonia CC, finishing in 56.55. Top veteran was Joel Garner of the organising club who tore round in 59.12.

Another home club rider, veteran Angela Carpenter, finished tenth overall in 1:00.41 to take the women’s prize.

Fastest juvenile was Vaughan Marris of Fareham Wheelers who clocked a time of 01:02.57. Ed Slot, James Peckham and Philip Godfrey combined to make 2:55.25 for the team prize.

In the time trial bike event, it was last year’s runner-up Tom Pritchard (Hampshire Road Club) who took top prize and broke Simon McNamara’s record of 52.19 with a time of 54.25.

McNamara, riding for South Downs Bikes, had to settle for second this time out, finishing in 52.47. Enough to take the veteran prize.

The espoir prize went to Mitchell Webber of Andover Wheelers who completed in 53.58 to finish fourth overall. The fastest woman was Simone Dailey of the home club in 1:00.27.

The home club took the team prize in the time trial bike event with Andrew Thomas, Simone Dailey, and Darryl Barr totalling 2:59.14.
