Reading Time: < 1 minute

The first WVCC open 25 for some years took place today on the J4/8 course. A healthy field of 64 riders started, and made their way against some tough conditions, especially along Kings Street into a cross headwind.

Nonetheless, Darren Maironis of Coveryourcar.co.uk RT, brought home 1st place overall with an impressive 53:41, ahead of team mate Steve Daintith with 54:16 and the evergreen Neil Skellern – sporting an entirely novel skinsuit held together with gaffa tape after his zip broke before he started(!) bringing home a very respectable 54:57. Our own Alistair Stanway wasn’t happy with his time, despite going under the hour with an excellent round 59:00.

Well done to all riders and a big thanks to all the marshals, helpers, timekeepers and to Chris Gilbertson for his excellent organisation of the event. Full results are below, as well as the wining times for each category. Prizes (under the one rider one prize rule) will be posted in due course.
