Crammond and Turvey take wins in Sunderland Clarion 25
Anna Turvey and Graham Crammond powered their way to victory in the Sunderland Clarion 25-mile time trial in Northumberland on Sunday.
After a week of torrential rainfall led to the cancellation of several midweek club time trials, the conditions improved and allowed for a good event to go ahead of the M254 near Ponteland.
It remained dry although overcast as the field ploughed up and down the A696 between Ponteland and Kirkwhelpington, with a tailwind on the way out and headwind on the return.
Crammond (Team Swift) proved fastest although it was very close at the top with his time of 54-28 being just one second faster than Phil Hall (Breeze Bikes), while Lewis Timmins (Team Swift) was third, just 30 seconds behind Crammond.
“I turned up with no expectations as the course is definitely an out and out power course better suited to the big power output guys,” said Crammond. “I’ll definitely take it though!”
Anna Turvey (Drag2Zero) set a blistering pace for the women - seventh overall (56:03) – one of 19 riders to go under the hour. Kerry Gowland of Houghton CC was in second position (1:05:54), and Natalie Batey (Tyne & Wear Fire & Rescue Service) third (1:05:56).
The David Craig Memorial Trophy was awarded to the fastest Sunderland Clarion rider, which this time was Peter Stokoe. Fastest on a road bike was Damon Devine of Reifen Racing, just nudging over the hour (1:00:05).
