Ribble Pro Cycling duo Zeb Kyffin and Thomas Prentice were fastest pairing at the Blaydon CC two-up 12.6-mile time trial in Northumberland on Saturday, while Joanne Rea and Venda Louise Pollock (Blaydon CC) were fastest female duo.
It was a cold morning and overcast but dry on the M12 course near Stamfordham, where 150 riders had entered what is always a popular event.
17-year-old Alnwick lad Prentice and his 21-year-old partner Kyffin clocked 27-34 to win by seven seconds from Team Kirkley Cycles pair Collin Humphrey and Julian MacBride.
It was Humphrey’s first outing on his time trial bike since a crash two seasons ago left him with a broken collarbone and severe concussion, but he is back to form and looking forward to the season ahead.
Third place went to Barnesbury CC’s John Routledge and Terry Wilkinson with 28-38, while just two seconds off a podium spot were Marcus Cram and Dan Pons (Blaydon CC) who were riding road bikes and took that prize.
In other categories, the fastest female pairing on road bikes were Fiona McDonald and Florence Shackleton (Newcastle Tri Club) with 37-26, who were competing in a CTT time trial for the first time.
Fastest female team on time trial bikes were 31-year-old Prudhoe resident Joanne Rea and 41-year-old Venda Louise Pollock (both Blaydon CC) with 31-37. That gave them a creditable 22nd place overall.
Rea is the current women’s solo record holder for the M12 course, standing at 33-13.
The start list included ten juniors and juveniles, and the fastest junior pairing was Kieron Mutch and Archie Murdoch (Racing Metro 15) with 31-46.
Fastest male veterans were David Symes and Mark Whaley (Blaydon CC) with 30-42, while top female veterans were Gemma Hutchins and Carrie Brookes (Blaydon CC) with 33-41.
Rachel Galler and Peter Herdman of Blaydon CC clocked 31-57 to finish as fastest mixed team on road bikes.
