It was Gelsthorpe’s fourth open win of the season as he scorched round the course in 1:49:22 to becoming the second club rider to beat the one-hour 50-minute barrier, his time falling just short of the club record set by Jason Burrill.

Still on the time trialling scene, the club’s King’s Lynn-based postman Matthew Senter rode the Team Jadan 10 near Hull and his time of 19-24 knocked eight seconds off the club record.

On the road-racing front, Martina Doreshenko scored the club’s first ever win in a ladies road race when she cleverly outsprinted a number of fast finishers in the Darley Dale series for ¾ category riders.
