Adam Wild and Fiona Burnie were fastest male and female riders as Tyneside Vagabonds staged the 63rd running of their annual classic mountain time trial in Northumberland on Sunday.

With the event shortened by around six miles, Wild (GS Metro) clocked 1-35-12 to win by more than five minutes from Andrew Duggan in second, the Physiohaus Health and Performance rider who is an ultra triathlete.

In-form Fiona Burnie secured another win for GS Metro, the 33-year-old winning the women’s event with a time of 1-54-36 which was around ten minutes quicker than the next best lady.

The victory was the latest in a string of good results from Wild, who was third in 2017 event. This season he has been second in the Derwentside CC 38.6-mile event, while he was fourth in the Teesdale CRC mountain time trial in April and took victory in the Law Wheelers 10 on April 1.

And for Burnie, like Wild, it was just another win in what is shaping up to be a good season. She was fastest female in the Derwentside CC event last weekend, and won on the same course when the Teesdale CRC staged an event in April. She also won the Tyneside Vagabonds mountain time trial 12 months ago.

As well as the overall prizes, the Tyneside Vagabonds also put on prizes for the fastest ascent of Bilsmoor. GS Metro’s Tim Wilcock was fastest on that climb in 5-24, while Burnie was also the fastest woman, clocking 6-10 for Bilsmoor.

The host club’s own Matthew Wells was fastest junior with 1-56-16 for 27th overall in a field of 86 riders, which included the Tyneside Vagabonds veteran Roger Clarke who was competing in the event for the 25th consecutive year.

Early rain subsided to allow much of the event to be completed in dry conditions, with the odd spell of sunshine.
