Conditions were tough in Round 2 of the Denso and Tern Cycles Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport as a strong and chilly south-westerly wind made things difficult for riders. That wind made no difference to was the winner was – just his time, as Tomos Hales stopped the watch on 22 minutes exactly, 21 seconds down on his Round 1 effort. Hales did note however that he finished strongly, with the tailwind bowling riders along the mile straight of the Shawbirch – Cotwall Bank circuit.
The strength of Hales’ ride was shown by him being over two minutes clear of anyone else, with a close battle for runner-up spot between Ben Wood, crossing the line in 24:02, and Newport Shropshire CC’s George Coombes, just three seconds back and first Road Bike across the line. This week Peter Jukes got the better of Rich Smith thanks to Matt Price splitting the pair, as Jukes rose to the top of the Road Bike standings thanks to his 26:09 effort.
In the Women’s Series just one female was in competition – Hayley Wells, and despite declaring her 24:44 as ‘Rubbish’ post-race due to being 57 seconds down on her Round 1 time that belied the strength of her performance in character-building conditions as she finished 4th overall from a 15 rider field.
- Hales has recently joined Telford Athletic Club, and as part of his signing conditions he persuaded three of that club’s runners to have a go. Fastest was Jordan Stamp in a very creditable 27:53.
