Warrington Road Club – Postponement of the WRC/VTTA 50TT
Warrington Road Club has moved the WRC/VTTA 50TT originally planned for the 22nd May and will now take place on the 21st August. As such, the 25TT we had planned for the 21st August has been cancelled and will resume in 2022.
Congratulations to David Wright and the rest of the Warrington Road Club team for successfully completing our first race event of the year, the Harry Barker Memorial 50 Mile Time Trial, an event now we’ve been running for just over 70 years.
I recently went back to my home land, Northern Ireland to ride the Newry 3 day stage race. It was a chance to race with my younger brother John and other whom I’ve raced with and known for years and compete in one of the most popular races on the Irish calendar.
Warrington Road Clubs first Open event of the year (Harry Barker Memorial 50 Mile Time Trial) ended in success with the Fastest Team award going to the Warrington veteran riders Steve Hilton, Steve Hankey and Dave Fox combined times being faster than any other club in the open event. On a warm but windy day, the teams combined time was 06:05:10 the fastest being Steve Hilton (01:57:12), then Steve Hankey, (01:58:20) and Dave Fox (02:09:38). Each rider has started the season well with, Hilton clocking the fastest 10, 25 and 50 times in the club so far, Hankey is his best form in a couple of years with 6 top 10 finishes in time trials and Fox also started with good TT time and a 6th place in the recent Steve Jones Memorial Road Race.
