Pardoe retains his ECCA 25-mile Time Trial title
Paul Pardoe was the top affiliated rider at Saturday’s ECCA 25-mile Time Trial Championships.
A full field of the region’s best 140 riders took to the start line, with a moderate wind and warm temperatures allowing for some fast times.
Pardoe, who covered the course in a rapid 49:11s, was one of seven Peterborough Cycling Club riders competing on the A428 near Cambridge.

Murray had to use a non disc rear wheel after his race wheel tyre punctured during his warm-up.
Kevin Hobbs (51:58s), Malcolm Smith (52:01s) and Phil Jones (58:02s) also rode, with Paul Breeze not finishing.
