Fresh from her previous weekend’s exploits at the Eastern Counties 10 mile time trial when she posted an impressive 22:35, West Suffolk Wheelers and Triathlon club member Trish Goulden made the long trip to Poole in Dorset for the National Women’s 50 mile time trial.

On a course of dual carriageways and smaller roads made difficult by rain and poor surfaces, Trish drew on her experience to produce a finely paced ride to finish the distance in 2:11:53 and 2nd in age category, 17th place overall.

Also on Saturday, club mates David young, Mark Eastwood and Gerry Barton rode in the Plomesgate CC 25 mile time trial. First Wheeler home was David Young, continuing his fine form, who placed 30th (1:10:11), followed by mark Eastwood (31st, 1:10:57) and Gerry Barton (35th, 1:17:36).

On Sunday, David Howes posted 25:42 in the Ely CC 10 mile TT.
