Report: East Dorset Cycling Association 24

Gary Dighton (Poole Wheelers) confirmed his early season club form with a clear victory in the EDCA 24 mile time trial.

Despite the bright sunshine, a chilly northerly breeze was a constant reminder that it was still early spring. Adam Topham’s course record 52.47 from last year was never under threat but take nothing away from Dighton; he looked very strong on the rolling circuit north of Wimborne Minster.

Simon Berogna, (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) off number 10, had set the early pace. Berogna had caught and passed those ahead of him and was first on the road, along the historic Beech Avenue near Kingston Lacy. Dave Pickering (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers) held off the challenge from Dave Dent (Wightlink/Offshore) to claim 3rd.

Dighton was all smiles as he packed his bike away at the HQ. “I am pleased with that, I am 30 seconds faster than last year” The smile grew even bigger as daughter Emily came over with tea & cake and confirmed “You won the race daddy”.
