Mark Ashurst wins the Bristol South CC Open 50 Time Trial on Sunday 24th June on the U21/50 course
![]() |
A counting event for both the National B.A.R. competition and West D.C. Short Distance B.A.R. competition
Thank you to the Road and Audax division of BSCC for turning out en masse to help with marshalling, the push and the catering. Thank you also to Bridget and Ian for timekeeping and signage, a sterling job as ever. Thank you to Helen for the delicious baked goods and the loan of a fully-functioning telephone.
Lastly thank you to all competitors who came to ride an honest course in challenging conditions. The headwind on the way out was tough, even for the Somerset Levels where it can tend to roar in off the Bristol Channel and slap you round the face repeatedly. The rain held off for just long enough, with only a few very brief showers to contend with. Great rides by Mark Ashurst (in his first 50) and Dave Kiddell to manage evens, with Gregory Woolford just over. Somerset RC took the team prize with strength in depth. Mary-Jane Hutchinson of the promoting club took home the prize for first lady. Commiserations to the DNFs, a combination of punctures and crosswinds putting paid to ambitions. There’s always next year!
