James Mapley.

James Mapley and Elise Sherwell were the fastest male and female riders at Southdown Velo’s 50-mile time trial, staged in West Sussex on Sunday morning.

Mapley, the 30-year-old Blazing Saddles rider from Bognor Regis, covered the P901/50 course near Aldingbourne in 1:49.43 to take the win by just 25 seconds from 20-year-old Stephen Williamson (a3crg), while third spot went to Addiscombe CC’s 16-year-old talent Robert Drake, another 1-48 off the pace.

And with 18-year-old Paul Thompson (Epsom CC) finishing fourth, the top placings had a distinctly youthful feel to them.

Meanwhile, 41-year-old Elise Sherwell made it two victories for Blazing Saddles as she proved to be the fastest female, clocking 2:03.46 to place 19th overall and almost six minutes quicker than the next best woman.

Mapley has not placed outside the top ten in any of the open time trials he has ridden this season, and featured on the podium in the a3crg 10 last month and VC St Raphael 18 in February.

Elise Sherwell.

But this is his first victory of the season, and one he will be hoping to repeat in the a3crg 10 on Wednesday evening.

Sherwell, from Barnham in West Sussex, has shown good form throughout the 2017 season so far.

She was fastest female in Dulwich Paragon’s 18.6-mile time trial in May, as well as the Elite Cycling 10 that same month.

Since then she has placed second woman in Southborough and District Wheelers 25 in June, and was similarly runner-up in the women’s category at Southdown Velo’s 10 a couple of weeks ago.
