Good pace: Dave Huck finished second in the Circuit of Wild Boar Fell time trial for Barrow central Wheelers ALLAN NELSON
CYCLISTS were out in force for Kent Valley Road Club's Circuit of Wild Boar Fell time trial, from Sedbergh.
The sunny spring weather produced a new course record of 1hr 7mins for Simon Wilson (Brother NRG Pro Cycling), slicing almost a minute-and-a-half off the previous best for the hilly 28-mile Garsdale, Mallerstang and Cautley.
He finished ahead of Shap's Richard Bickley (Border City Wheelers), who clocked 1:08:38, and Furness's Dave Huck (Barrow Central Wheelers), who finished third in 1:09:08.
Kendal CC's Helen Jackson was fastest woman in 1:25:30 – despite starting 74 seconds late.
The event was part of the Lakes and Lancs Sporting Courses Series, and attracted 81 entrants from all across the North West and Yorkshire.
