CYCLING: Wyre Forest CRC riders Steve Vanes and Gary Jones have both set new personal best times for 10 miles in recent weeks.
Vanes recorded his best time of 19 minutes, 24 seconds while placing ninth from an entry of 161 riders in the Selby CC promoted time trial. He returned to this venue for the Team Jadan event where he finished with a time of 19-47 for 27th place from 115 riders.
Meanwhile, Jones set 22-21 in the Islington CC promotion and finished 19th from an entry of 68 riders.
Bill Haslam was also in action placing 59th from 118 riders with a time of 23-50 in the Rugby RCC promoted time trial.
The season of hard midweek time trials is taking it’s toll on riders as only five made the start of the latest round on the hilly 14.2 miles Astley circuit.
Vanes was fastest by a wide margin, but Denise Burrows, making her first appearance in the series, set the fastest time for a female member of WFCRC completing the lap in a time of 40-44.
