CLOUGH KICK-STARTS THE NEW YEAR

Kerry Clough started the New Year off in the best possible fashion with victory in Tinwald Cycling Club’s, Wylie Family, 45km handicap event around the Christys Road block on Sunday.

Clough’s win secured him the Alan Wylie Memorial Cup.

In the tight charge to the line Clough saw off the challenge of second place getter Shona McGrath-Proctor, with Brian Ellis taking the final podium position.

A bunch sprint for the minor placing saw Matt Clough came out on top to take fourth spot with the ever-present Brett McGinity in fifth. Don Sutton rounded out the top six.

Scratch marker Michael Templeton secured fastest time honours riding the distance in 62.59. Co-markers Nathan Tew and Brad Hudson picked up second and third time.

The juniors contested an 18km handicap event.

Hayden Jefferson produced a top shelf ride to claim the win and secure second fastest time.

Scratch rider Mitchel Fitzsimmons took the second place spoils and in doing so also claimed fastest time honours riding the course in 27.27.

Caitlin Titheridge rode strongly to secure third place and third fastest time.

Lily Davidson, Ethan Titheridge, and Oliver Davidson rounded out the top half dozen.  

Next week the Club will contest a 36km handicap event around the Winchmore Church block.
