Denso and Tern Cycles Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport No.1

A rare ‘float’ evening saw the newly renamed Denso and Tern Cycles Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport off to a great start, with fast times all round, some keen competition in the Road Bike category, and a brand new season-long 2-Up competition added taking place at the same time. Back on the traditional Shawbirch – Cotwall Bank circuit after the opening of Crudgington roundabout, Tomos Hales set out a solid defence of his Series Championship with a superb effort of 21 minutes 39 seconds, with nearest challenger Jonathan Mills-Keeling of Aerologic RT 32 seconds back.

Hales opened up a lead of a solitary point by beating 2024’s silver medallist Oli Freeman, who stopped the watch on 22:34 in his first effort on the course after joining the club last year. Hales wasn’t the only rider looking to hold onto a Championship as Hayley Wells opened up her defence of the Women’s Series with a superb 23:47.

The Road Bike Series opened in some style with a solitary second splitting Rich Smith from Peter Jukes, with Smith making his first ever appearance in this contest stopping the watch on 25:48, and with visiting Scottish rider Hamish MacLean of Mussellborough RCC taking the Overall win in 24:13.

The change to facilitate the Denso and Tern Cycles 2-Up Series has been an adjustment to the points, with both formats available in almost all Wrekinsport 10 mile club events (but with the exception of the County level 2-Up week where a different handicap trophy is in play to Wrekinsport pairs, and SCCA County-level points are also at stake). Rider’s best 12 scores will count towards the destination of trophies in the solo Series, whereas the best 5 scores will count towards the new 2-Up Series. Dave Moore and Matt Price made the initial running, registering a time of 26:57.
