Women’s National 50 – Simmonds Fastest
(thanks to Eamonn Deane – click here for photos )
The 25 year old from Cambridge took the coveted title by a scant 41 seconds from Emily Robertson (Luton CC), 1:59:17. Robertson, also riding her first 50, had led by just 2 seconds at half distance but as the wind began to rise, Simmonds strength was the game changer.
Bronwen Ewing (TrainSharp RT), 2:01:42, claimed the bronze medal. Ewing was backed up by Lynn Hamel & Karina Bowie to give the Trainsharp outfit the team award.
The P418 Upton-Bere Regis course in Dorset is never going to produce super -fast times but concerns over a resurfaced section on the A35 were unfounded and when the forecasted torrential rain failed to appear it turned into a pretty good day!
Championship Chat
Hayley Simmonds “It was pretty tough, I did not quite know what to expect and the wind picked up a little bit as well. I had an idea of what power to stick to and tried to hold a constant power, I tried to go out a little conservatively so that I could build up in the second half.”
“It was a strong headwind at Roundhouse but being a bit of a bigger rider, I thought ‘right, I am going to push it into the wind and manage to hold on to the end’. I am not thinking about riding another 50 just yet. I thought it was going to be horrifically bad, bad rain but it was not too bad. I drove the new chipped section as I knew it had been resurfaced but it was no problem. It had bedded down really wellâ€
Emily Robertson “I think we were the only two on the start sheet that had not ridden a 50, I just prefer the 10s reallyâ€
