Hawick Cycling Club’s Liam Beaty was fastest overall, while Carrie Brookes (Blaydon CC) was the women’s winner at the North Tyneside Riders 10-mile time trial near Cramlington in Northumberland on Saturday.
33-year-old Beaty clocked 20-31 to win by just eight seconds from second-placed rider Lewis Timmins (Team Swift), while Julian Macbride (Team Kirkley Cycles) was another 41 seconds back in third.
And in the women’s category Brookes, 44 and from North Shields, clocked 24-54 to secure her first victory of the season. She was 32 seconds quicker than second-placed Miriam Jessett (Team Kirkley Cycles).
A strong easterly wind on the M102b course near Cramlington coupled with cold temperatures ended most hopes of fast times and personal bests, but it nevertheless proved popular.
“I was really surprised but delighted to win my first race of the season,” said Brookes afterwards. “I haven’t had a very good build up to this season – I had a bad race crash in January and ever since I’ve been fighting to get back to fitness in time for the TT season starting.
“It was a really tough day out on the course with the cold, and it was even hailing at one point during my warm-up. The strong easterly wind made it very tough heading out and it’s certainly way off my quickest on that course.”
Natalie Batey (Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service CC) was third fastest woman, while the quickest rider from the promoting club was Derek Billham in 26-05.
In other categories Lee Ridden of Reifen Racing was fastest on a road bike, Joe Dixon of Gosforth RC was fastest juvenile, quickest senior male was Graeme Crammond (Physiohaus Health & Performance) and fastest senior female was Jen McMahon of Muckle CC.
In the veterans categories, Neil Pendrich (SVTTA) was the over-40s winner, while the over-50 prize went to Phil Kennell (GS Metro) and Wayne Coates of Derwentside CC was fastest in the over-60s category.
