Report Result: FWCC Spring Open 10

Simon Berogna of VC St Raphael/Waite Contracts winner of the Fareham Wheelers Spring Open 10 mile time trial

FWCC Spring Open 10Â

15 March 2014 | Course P829/A

We had 47 on the start sheet but there were eventually 6 DNS’s leaving 41 starters. A field had a large contingent from the Southampton University RC (SURC) including a number of ladies.

Given the recent poor weather, the sun was a welcome visitor and the temperatures were up to 14 deg C. However there was a freshening westerly wind which helped the riders up Portsdown Hill but it hampered them on the return leg.

So the scene was set for fast race. The course was a typical early season sporting course with a power climb up Portsdown hill with a chance to view the stunning panorama but I doubt the riders had the inclination to take in the view.

So it turned out that Simon Berogna (VC St Raphael) won for the 3rd year in a row with a record breaking time of 22:50. Simon was also the fastest Vet on Standard. Second was Charlie Leech (SURC) with 23:29.

In the Vets race Simon won with -3:09 on age standard time. However because of the rule that no rider can win more than one prize the next placed riders took first and 2nd prizes in the vetâ€™s categories. Therefore the 2nd and 3rd Vets on Standard were Cliff Rowe (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers) and Darryl Barr(A3CRG) with -2:12 and -2:07 on age standard time respectively took 1st and 2nd prizes.

The ladies race Florence Collyer-Powell (SURC) was 1st and 2nd was Jessy Jones-Hutchings (SURC) with times of 28:29 and 30:17 respectively. First FWCC rider was Paul Morriss with 25:53.
