40 year old club record broken

40 year old club record broken

16 May 18

Riding on the E2 course on the A14 near Newmarket Gareth Wignall completed his first 50 mile TT in a time of 1 hour 47 minutes and 45 seconds - an average speed of 27.8 mph. Given his inexperience at this distance this is a remarkable achievement. No doubt there is more to come!
This comfortably broke Tim Dobson's club record of 1 hour 52 minutes and 20 seconds set in 1978 (well before the era of aero aids!). Tim, a former junior 25 mile record holder, is still an active member of the Wheelers.
