Julian Jenkinson Memorial TT – Utag 10mm
Team Riders Kev Chant and Clint Oliver took a trip to Petersfield this Saturday to compete in the Utag 10 Mile Time Trial. This event is held annually and attracts some of the best Time Trialists in the south of England.
This year there were 128 entries all very keen to set new personal best times, especially our team riders looking to break the 20-minute mark over the 10 miles. Kev Chant had an outstanding ride completing the 10 miles in 19 mins 43 seconds placing him 8th in the seniors. Clint Oliver also completed the 10 miles in 19 mins 45 seconds placing him 6th in the Vets.
Both our Riders averaged over 30mph to go sub 20 minutes and are very pleased with there results. We would also like to thank the continued support given by our sponsors Wightlink Wight Mountain and Island Stoves.
