28-Mar-09 Eastern Counties 10 (E91/10)

Three members of the Wheelers braved the elements on the 10 Mile course at Leaden Roding. The event was blessed with a cold, strong North West wind and occasional heavy showers - decidedly unpleasant. Despite the conditions there were very few non-starters in the field of 51 solo riders. As expected given the weather, the two riders from the Wheelers did not manage to record speedy rides. Steve Watson was fastest with a 29:54 followed closely by Merv Player with a 29:57. The winner was Richard O'Rourke, Fitch Crono, with a 22:41. The third Wheeler, Clive Wellings, spent one and a half hours assisting the timekeeper thus ensuring the event took place.
