Gloriously warm sunny conditions greeted Cycle Club Sudbury’s 4th running of their Mad March Hilly Open Time Trial at Lavenham on Sunday and attracted a record 73 entrants which was almost twice the size of their previous events.

This was probably down to two factors, the first was that the total prize money on offer was nearly £350 thanks to sponsorship from two local businesses; LifeCycle UK in Bildeston and Long Meford insurance company Robins Row.

And secondly, this was for the first time, a qualifying round of the popular south-eastern SPOCO Series which is for Sporting Courses events.

It attracted top time trialists from around East Anglia and included a good ladies entry as the men’s and ladies prize fund had been equalised.

Winner Mark Arnold’s (CC Desiragear) time of 48mins 08secs set a new course record by more than 1 ½ minutes which earned him an extra £100 for his efforts and was even more remarkable in that he rode the event on a fixed single gear.

Daniel Bloy (Velovelocity.co.uk) came back second fastest in 49.42 (to equal the existing record) with third spot going to Steve Gorbutt (Diss & Dist. CC) with a 50.24.

Hayley Simmond’s (Cambridge University CC) (below) very quick time of 52.52 easily won the ladies prize and was also good enough for 7th place overall and more impressively to break the ladies record by nearly 7 ½ minutes! She has recently returned from racing in Belgium and hopes to return to the continent shortly to continue her season.

With 19 CCS riders competing, Simon Daw came back quickest in 9th place in 53.01 with Darren Rule in 16th place at 54.38. Jamie Howe managed to crash during his warm up but gamely started and despite leg injuries and further dramas on the course with a loose seat pin, still managed to complete the event in a time of 57.11 for 30th place.

The other local club, Boxford CC, had 11 riders out and fastest of these was John Bradbury with a very good 14th place with a 54.21 followed by Matthew Shinn in 57.38.
CCS rider Charlie Pratt claimed the Junior prize with an excellent 1hr 05min 23sec ride.

The Winning Team Prize was won by the Bury based Velovelocity, whose riders Daniel Bloy, Paul Jay and David Staff had a combined time of 2hrs 36mins 07secs.
