1st Overall
Mid week low key event, run by Barnsley CC at Park Springs....numerous roundabouts (9) and rained halfway around! Won by over a minute...in 22-08...by 2018 I had joined the very few sub 21 min guys on this course!

TOUR OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE - GB "Trials" - Peterborough - 4th & 5th June 2016
3rd (TT) and 1st (RR)
Aargh! 30 secs separating the first three after near 40 mins of TT racing in the UCI UK leg of the ultimate World amateur finals in Perth Australia. So a national bronze medal and a place in the GB team, but currently I'm miffed....but once I have a beer and consider that when I entered this I did not know I'd be even riding a bike - I'm sure I'll be pleased, a little #TourOfCambridgeshire #UCI #agecats
It's taken over a week but the UCI ToC World Trials have released their decision for the road race results - this is the top list of qualifiers for Perth in fastest order from my age group. However this does not reflect the Gold medal award as many across the fastest finishers in all cats have been disqualified, in fact the gold medalist is 8th in this list. Lot of organiser finger pointing, but some huge assumptions made when dealing with 5000 competitors. Anyhow, for me that's a bronze in the TT and the fastest time in the road race (in fact my time was good enough for gold in all age groups except 16-24 for the 84 miles) Confirmation received that it does not impact my qualification for the finals in Perth - so look out Oz, I won't be there just to make the numbers up
[April 2020: Really lost interest in this, not helped by what happened later in Australia...but it is a blatant money spinner - getting in the "GB" team, is no real honour as they make it so easy..and then the racers have to foot the bill for everything including kit and entry into the "World Championships" - although the TT course is a cracker and on closed roads]
