CYCLING: High Wycombe Cycling Club walked away with a splendid team victory when they won the Interclub 25-mile time trial competition for the second year running.
Led by Wycombe's Amsphere rider Dave Johnson, the club saw off the Westerley Road Club by a comfortable margin last Sunday.
Johnson posted the overall fastest time of the day with 57mins 33secs while second place went to Westerley RC's Malcolm Woolsey in 58.45.
Peter Lightfoot rode 1.01.38, Dave Roberts followed with 1.03.13. Phil Crouch 1.08.40 and Paul New 1.09.07 filled the next four places giving Wycombe the overall points win.
Meanwhile, Paul Mace finished 24th out of 350 riders in the challenging 38-mile Three Peaks Classic in North Yorkshire. The High Wycombe Cycling Club's Amsphere rider made light work of what is regarded the toughest and biggest Cyclo Cross race in the UK calendar with a time of 3hrs 33mins and 43secs a personal best by more than 22 minutes.
More than four miles of the course is unrideable and competitors had to run, walk and scramble with bikes on their shoulders before facing a death-defying descent back into the valley.
Mace had also competed in the Rugby Velo Cyclo Cross race where he was holding on to 5th position until the last lap when he crashed heavily but he still managed to finish tenth.
