2007 Jack Clements Memorial Little Mountain
Time Trial
Based
around Great Witley in Worcestershire, the fiendishly difficult
39-mile event attracts racers from all over the country. This
year’s large field included lots of the sport’s top names,
past and present.
In glorious spring sunshine, just two minutes separated the
top three. Preston Wheelers’ multiple national champion Gethin
Butler took first place in 1hr 36mins 35secs, beating Matt
Bottrill of De Rosa RT by just over a minute. Top Midlander
Rob Wood of Pershore’s Echelon Cycles was third in 1hr 38mins
and 26secs.
Numerous local riders posted impressive performances. Wyre
Forest’s Bill Moore (1hr 42mins 30secs); Dave Barnes (1hr
44mins 17secs) and Paul Prince (1hr 48mins 52secs) secured
them the team prize, despite determined efforts by both the
promoting club and Pershore-based Echelon. Best of the women
was Ruth Eyles who continued her dominant form, completing
the course in 1hr 53mins 51secs.
