VCB Evening TT Series #9

Date: 17th July 2018
Course: U103
Distance: 12.1miles
Weather: Fine Dry

The ninth evening time trial in the series was the annual “Versus” event between Velo Club and KiT.  The prestige of the event and the good weather produced a large field (36 riders) and a strong VCB contingent (12 riders).

Overall the versus event was won by Velo Club Bristol.  The fastest individual time was recorded by Lee Francis (representing KiT in this event) at 27min 27sec, Phil Stonelake (BRC) was second in a time of 27min 54sec and Chris Davis (Gian CC Halo Films) was third in 28min 02sec.

It was a fantastic event and a huge thank you goes out to all of the riders and volunteers who made this possible.
