Wrekinsport CC Spring 5 No.2 2018

It was a close run thing at the top of the leader board in Wrekinsport's second Spring 5 mile time trial with Alex Leek and Chris Halford split by a solitary second on the Crudgington - Shawbirch course. Halford got that 'always the bridesmaid' feeling after finishing runner-up in 12 minutes 8 seconds despite shaving four seconds off his first attempt, with VC St Raphael member Leek taking the win in 12:07 on a distinctly chilly evening with the mercury only reaching 6ºC.

 

This fast and furious event saw 16 riders take the line with RAF CA rider Dan Watts taking third spot in 12:25. Watts' ride was all the more impressive given he rode on a standard road bike with no aero aids, pushing out Adam Mumford by six seconds. That same margin was the amount Mumford went back by from the first event, with all riders except Halford going backwards, showing the trickiness of the evening.
