RNRMCA 100 TT Champion Confirmed

Sunday 31st May saw the annual running of the RNRMCA 100 Mile Time Trial Championships. Read more for further details about the clubs new Champion for 2009. 

Held in conjunction with the Hounslow & District Wheelers the clubs longest distance race in the championship calendar proved a race too far for many with a lower than average turnout. However, what was lacking in quantity was certainly made up for in the quality of the field. Many RNRMCA riders have really stepped up a gear for 2009 with riders competing in events and distances previously not attempted and all around personal best times are falling as riders hone their skills and push themselves to the limit.

The weather for the event was warm and humid with a constant wind to keep the pressure on riders. Out of the 83 starters 11 failed to finish this tough test of endurance, stamina and speed.

 New RNRMCA Champion for 2009

Riding his newly developed fixed wheel machine (not pictured) the win went to CPO Andy Phipps. Phippsy has come close to the top of the podium many times of late and was chuffed to get the win on the "big one" in a time of 4:18:51 his regular sparring partner and training pal Jerry Bromyard was not far behind with a time of 4:19:44 which is a real testament of how well these 2 RNRMCA stalwarts are matched.

Other finishers were

Bob Richards 4:39:06

Simon Wise  4:52:09

Congratulations to all riders.
