Prolific winner Pardoe claimed an eighth county title and Peterborough Cycling Club also won a prestigious team prize
It was a ‘Super Saturday’ for Peterborough Cycling Club at the Northampton & District Cycling Association (N & DCA)10-mile Time Trial event at Sawtry.
Paul Pardoe won the race and the series title, while he was also part of the city team that won the team prize.
Mark Tomlinson, Loz Staples, Jamie Murray and Richard Lamb also took on the out-and-back N1/10 course on the old A1. Conditions were good but slightly windier than forecast, featuring a gusty headwind on the outward leg and a tailwind on the return. And the city club secured the team prize thanks to strong performances across the board. Pardoe took the overall win with a time of 20:35. This victory clinched the N&DCA overall championship for the prolific winner with a maximum score of 500 points. It was his eighth county title. Murray placed second overall with an impressive time of 21:36. Tomlinson finished eighth overall, setting a new course personal best time of 23:08. Staples delivered a strong ride of 24:36. Lamb achieved a season's best of 24:26 to take second place in the road bike category.
