Not for the faint-hearted the 112 mile Fred Whitton course starts & finishes at Coniston, and takes in climbs of Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott & Wrynose passes. This year having clocked up unhuman amounts of winter mileage in the saddle Toby Cushion was targetting the event for a sub-7 hour time. Not all went to plan on the day however –riding on a puncture for 70 miles through the first section Toby did well to offer a smile to me as I watched the riders climbing Whinlatter. On a pleasant day for riding he went on to clock splits of 3:12 through Buttermere, 5:15 at Calderbridge to finish in 7:04. Well done.
A quick scan of the results reveals that Keswick AC had another member out -Dave Spedding going through in splits of 2:57 at Buttermere, 5:08 to Calderbidge and finishing in believe it or not, 7:04! Well done Sped.
The fastest on the day was Rob Jebb in splits of 2:40 at Buttermere, 4:21 for Calderbridge and 5:47 to the finish.
