A blisteringly fast evening saw Tim Beardmore take the win in Round 7 of The Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport. The Bridgnorth CC rider took advantage of favourable winds to record a great time of 21 minutes 17 seconds churning his giant 62-tooth chain ring, pushing out Tomos Hales by 15 seconds. Hales stretched his lead at the top of the Decathlon Series standings to eight points with his nearest club mate taking the final podium slot as Alex Leek made his first appearance of the season to finish in 23:05, pushing out Phil Roberts by eight seconds.
There was a good turnout of six riders for the Road Bike Series with Chairman Dave Moore taking the win on his single speed bike in 26:34, pushing Road Bike Series leader David Seager into runner-up spot. Seager is involved in a terrific battle at the top of the standings with Elliott Wills, just getting the better of him by five seconds after stopping the watch on 27:20 to double his lead to a tight two points.
In the Women’s Series Deb-Hutson-Lumb continues to make inroads into Mollie Croxon’s lead after just being caught by Beardmore on the finish line with an impressive 24:17, moving her to three points behind Croxon.
