Penzance Wheelers’ Alessandro Gourley led by example on Sunday, organising his club’s 10-mile time trial in Cornwall and then promptly winning it too!
The 40-year-old clocked an impressive 22.03 to take a comfortable win over the S37/10 course near Zoar. That time was good enough for victory by 1-13 from Nick French (St Austell Wheelers, while his team-mate Anthony Green completed the podium in third, two seconds further adrift of Gourley’s time.
St Austell were also in good form in the women’s event, with Rosie Willis winning that prize in 28.20, while the junior prize went to another St Austell rider Luke Craddock with 28.57
But the actual fastest female – and a junior too – was 16-year-old Lauren Dolan (Liv CC-Epic Coaching) – who clocked 24.47 to place an impressive 12th fastest overall.
And in other categories, the 40-49 veterans prize went to Cyclelogic.co.uk rider Paul Friday with 24.13, while the 50-59 prize went to his team-mate Stuart Pickering with 24.53, and top 60-69 was another Cyclelogic rider, Edward Trezona-Phillips with 27.51.
