Times for the last Pevensey 10 TTs on 15 July – More PBs – it was a quick evening!

It was a warm evening with moderate winds for the last of three HCC 10 miles TTs on the Pevensey course and it turned out to be a quick evening with at least 6 PBs, some do not know what their PBs are and I cannot keep track of all rides over the decades!!!!


Eighteen year old Joe Kingsman (21.36) won the club event with another fantastic sub 22, possibly a PB after several other rides with similar times in Rovers club events which have usually been  long 21s?

Trevor Deeble  (22.59) came in under 23 minutes for the first time improving his a PB set two weeks ago by 10 seconds.  If you wanted to see a good example of someone striving their utmost to come in just a second quicker you needed to have seen Trevor cross the line! When asked what he thought his time was he thought he had just missed out, but rounded up his time was a 59!  Malcom Daly (24.14) was third and Jon Molton (24.34) fourth with what I think is a PB in a Hastings 10 at Pevensey but possibly not an all time PB?


The next three came in with PBs: Stewart Buckland (24.41) a PB by 31s, Tom Norris (24.55) PB by 36s and Neil Smith (26.49 PB) by 15s but would have been quicker had he not been the only rider to lose a lot of time at Little Common roundabout, as confirmed by marshal John Vidler!


Fabien Large (27.13) qualified to represent the 13 year old age group in September’s National GHS 10 miles TT Championships on Saturday and is another example of someone who gives it everything in the final push for the line. Calvin Hatter (27.58) set a  PB by 31s.


The quickest time was by Rover Marc Townsend (20.31) who thinks his PB is 20.20 and is aiming to go sub 20 minutes (30mph) this year and with his fantastic form may well do so.


PB Coaching’s Stuart Hodd (21.49) set PB by 24s as he went under 22 minutes for the first time.
