For the second year in succession the Hounslow’s premier time trial promotion has got a full field plus ten reserves
Preview: The Ron Brown Memorial 100
Event: 29th May 2016
For the second year in succession the Hounslow’s premier time trial promotion has got a full field plus ten reserves – what a change from the time, only a few years ago in 2009 when an entry of 95 was thought by the organiser to be ‘excellent’.
Adam Topham won this event for a record five consecutive years from 2011 to 2015, but has decided to leave the stage open to others in 2016, so there is no clear favourite in this strong field. Fastest on paper is Jon Wynn (T1 Diabetes.info) who will wear the prestigious race number 120, and he is clearly a man on good form since his most recent reported ride is a victory by nearly a minute in the CC Blaenau Gwent 25 on the eighth of May. … continued after advert
However his qualifying time is just a single second better than Pete Harrison (GS Henley), no. 110, who was second in this event last year and won the Charlotteville 50 on this course just two weeks ago, his 1.42.59 in that event being a personal best. Another rider who may well be a contender is Charlie Mitchell (A3crg) who, with Dominic Irvine, broke the Lands End John O’Groats tandem record by a full five hours last year.
The Hounslow has a proud record of team victories in this event, and the club does have four strong riders in this year’s field: Stuart Hewlins, Nic Stagg, Loz Wintergold and Paul Holdsworth. However with a field of this quality they will need a measure of luck to take the prize this year. It should also be mentioned that the very long serving promoter of this event, Trevor Gilbert, has had to stand down for health reasons, and Jeff Marshall, the 1962 Ron Brown winner, has stepped in to fill the gap. We are sure that the club and all the past riders of this event would wish to give a vote of thanks to Trevor for all his work over many years.
The event is to be run on the usual Farnham – Alton course, with the HQ at Bentley village hall. First man off at 7.01 am.
