Mark Smith of Crawley Wheelers was the fastest man on the day as Handcross hosted the 41.6-mile Crawley Wheelers contest on Friday.
Taking the victory for the home club, Smith averaged just over 26mph to complete in 1:34.33, 47 seconds quicker than second-placed rider Mark Emsley of Team ASL.
After finishing third over 23 miles in the a3CRG event a week ago, veteran Smith managed to go one better over double the distance.
For Emsley, it was yet another podium finish, making it five in a row after good results at three Southern Counties CU events and a win in the Sussex CA 23-mile event.
James Wright of Charlotteville CC finished in third in a time of 1:36.51 – his best position of the year so far.
Angela Radden-Rutt (The Cycleroom) took home the women’s prize, completing in 1:54.57. Sarah Phelps (Crawley Wheelers) was second in 1:57.56 and Gina McGeever (Lewes Wanderers CC) was third in 2:00.27.
