Andrew Perkins of Mid Devon CC was the surprise winner of the Yeovil Cycling Club Spring 10.
The torrential storms of the previous days abated enough for the event to be held on the A303 dual carriageway. Even from the start, it was obvious that Andrew was going well as he was seconds quicker over the first two miles, an advantage he maintained to come in at 21:17 ahead of the trio of Terry Icke (Poole Wheelers 21:43), Paul Jones (Bristol South CC 21:46) and Jon Wynn (Northover Veterans – Rudy Project 21:48) all separated by just three seconds.
The other placings went to Patrick Dunn, CC Weymouth (22:03) and Andrew Legge, Bristol South CC (22:05) who was the second member of the team prize winners along with Daniel Kempe. Bristol South CC had an aggregate time of 67:03. The host club team was second with Chris Martin, Nick Young and Alex Walsh clocking 68:54.
Lowenna Smith, Cadence RT, won the ladies prize whilst unsurprisingly Terry Icke took the ‘new’ Vets Standard prize with a +6:36.
