CC Breckland 10

Despite the weather, 5 West Suffolk Wheelers & Triathlon Club members were out on 5th March at the CC Breckland 10 mile time trial over the very wet and cold out and back B10/9 course on the B1108 Hingham to Carbrooke.

The fresh cross head wind on the out leg which greeted the field meant some wind assistance on the return. Putting his recent 1000km charity turbo cycling effort to good use was triathlete Darren Sharman who posted the quickest time of the 5 with 25:50. Tricia Goulden will look to the new time trial season with confidence, her 27:12 good enough for 2^nd lady, just 9 seconds off the eventual winner.

Scott Williams’s winter cyclo cross league exploits helped towards his time of 27:50, with David Young (28:25) and Mark Eastwood (riding a tricycle) (32:27) rounding the group off.

Held on the B10/9 out and back course between Sudbourne/Tunstal/Bentwaters/Tunstal/Sudbourne, the trio made use of the south easterly tail wind on the outbound leg, with Tricia Goulden’s time of 27:04 quickest of the three. David Young (27:59) and Gerry Barton (31:37) rode well.
