Wednesday 2nd April 2025
The opening event of the Wrekinsport club calendar saw riders partake in a fast and furious five mile loop of Admaston – Rushmoor Lane and Allscott as Tomos Hales took a solid win – although his plan to challenge Henri Bedford’s 10 minute 9 second course record set in April 2021 didn’t quite work out. Hales was stymied by a stiff and chilly easterly wind that hampered riders on the long steady climb from Allscott to the finish, eventually completing the circuit in 10:44.
Hales’ nearest challenger was Oli Freeman, whose 11:25 was just two seconds ahead of Wrekinsport club mate Phil Roberts in a tight battle for an ‘each way’ placing; whilst best female was Hayley Wells in 12:13.
The Road Bike category was also keenly fought, with Rich Smith taking a solid win in 13:02, eight seconds ahead of Peter Jukes on his first competitive time trial on a Road Bike, which looks like a good omen for the coming season.
