Adam Wild breaks course record in Northumberland
Adam Wild (GS Metro) set a new course record for the M101 in Northumberland, whilst Kerry Gowland (Houghton CC) finished top female in Saturday’s Cramlington CC 10-mile time trial.
Wild narrowly missed out on his own recorded personal best over 10 miles, but managed to break the course record in Northumberland en route to an impressive win in Northumberland & Durham Cycling Association’s 10-mile Championship.
The GS Metro rider stopped the clock a second shy of 19 minutes, clocking 18-59 to take his third open win of the season and second in as many races after winning last week’s Tyneside Vagabonds CC 40.
Wild made the most of what was called a “perfect morning for racing” by the event organisers, with sunny conditions and very little wind helping riders post quick times.
Harry Walker (Revolver Racing) recorded his first ride of over 30mph on a north east course with 19-31, but it still wasn’t enough to bridge the gap to Wild as he finished second in a hotly-contested race. He eventually finishing three seconds ahead of GS Metro team-mates Dan Meggison and Ross Walton who both rode a time of 19-34.
Walker finished second in his last outing in the Hartlepool CC 10 last weekend and this result means he is still searching for his first win of the season despite a string of podium finishes.
GS Metro had an impressive day as their riders littered the major placings – Dan Meggison and Ross Walton followed up team-mate Wild’s heroics with a joint third finish for the pair.
Meggison and Walton both clocked a time of 19-34 to share the last step of the podium, only missing out on making it a 1-2 finish for the GS Metro team by a few seconds.
Kerry Gowland (Houghton CC) was on top in the women’s category as she finished comfortably ahead of Blaydon CC pair Gemma Hutchins and Angela McGurk.
Gowland has been in good form this season, last winning in the Ferryhill 10 in April. Her time of 22-40 powered her to victory by an impressive margin of 1-18.
The in-form Team Bottrill rider Adam Jarps was on hand to produce another solid display with the 18-year-old taking the prize for top junior, powering his way around the coastal course in 19-49.
