Newbury Road Club’s Boxing Day Fun Ride Time Trial saw the racing Reindeer of Andy Tucker and Rick Cornes (NVVC) back on the A4 between Newbury and Hungerford. This year, however, they lost out on the fancy dress prize to Peter Fuell’s (NRC) Grinch.
There were other great fancy dressers on display too, notably Louise Laycock’s (NRC) snowman, and numerous Christmas jumpers and tights.
Generally road bikes were the order of the day but credit to Peter Brooke-Wavell (Newbury Road Club) for riding the 10 miles on his Raleigh Chopper.
There were also some decent times considering the time of year. George Westall was fastest with 23 minutes, 59 seconds. Full results can be found here.
Newbury Road Club’s regular time trial season kicks off on Saturday 18 March 2023, with the first of three Saturday afternoon events.
Races then move to the regular slot of Wednesday evenings. There are also events on some of the bank holiday Mondays.
Full details of the schedule will be available soon here.
