Fourth Places for O’Neill and Slim

Jack O’Neill and Nick Slim just missed the podium this weekend in their respective events both placing fourth, while Jen Doyle did a pace-perfect ride in her club hilly.

At the Coalville Wheeler’s 10, on their hilly Griffydam circuit, Jack O’Neill clocked 21:55 on an unfamiliar course to place fourth behind Matt Sinclair (Lutterworth Cycle Centre), who won in 21:02.

Near Worcester, Nick Slim also placed fourth in the slightly more straight-forward, but lumpy K46/10 course.  In his first TT of the season, Nick recorded a time of 21:45 (27.6mph), 1:02 behind Stuart Travis (Team Bottrill) who was 37s clear of 2nd place.

Royal Leamington Spa CC held their club hilly event at Napton, where Jen Doyle did a pace-perfect ride in the road-bike only competition in her build up for the Tour of Ayrshire.
