The promoting club’s Helen Reynolds and Arctic Tacx RT rider Josh Crow-Stewart were fastest female and male riders respectively as Hemel Hempstead CC staged a 22-mile time trial in Hertfordshire on Sunday.

53-year-old Reynolds covered the F11/22 course in 58-33 to win the women’s category by almost four minutes from 17-year-old Lauren Higham (Welwyn Wheelers), while third was Debbie Honour (VC10).

Meanwhile, Chesham-based Crow-Stewart broke the old course record by just two seconds, clocking 50-01 to finish as overall fastest rider by just one second from last year’s winner Ben Stowe (Hemel Hempstead CC).

Meanwhile last year’s runner-up Luke Clarke (TMG Horizon) was third this time, 17 seconds behind the time set by Crow-Stewart, and pipping his brother Ross Clarke to third by four seconds.

The event starts just north of Great Gaddesden, then heads up to Dagnall before skirting north past Whipsnade Zoo and up to Dunstable. They then head back south west before bearing back to Dagnall and along the same road to the finish.

Branded as the Sid Latchford Memorial, the event incorporated round two of the London North Millennium Trophy.

In other categories, Arctic Tacx RT won the team prize with Crow-Stewart being joined in the winning trio by Danny Axford and Nick Clarke in sixth and seventh respectively.

There was also a road bike category which Robert Abbey (Hemel Hempstead CC) won with 56-07, 43 seconds ahead of runner-up and last year’s road bike category winner Roy Chamberlain (Team Corley Cycles).

In Crow-Stewart’s only other appearance in an open time trial so far this season, he placed tenth in the competitive North Road CC hardriders 21.2 event last month.
