2014 time trial series wrapped up at Shipley Park
Ashley Deeming and Lily Winfield took the spoils as the 2014 time trial campaign was rounded-off last night at Shipley Country Park.
V40 Ashley headed into the final assault on the 3 mile course needing to better his points from the last time trial in June to stay ahead of Steve Ashmore in the race to succeed Tony Weatherson as time trial champion.
Despite coming back two positions behind Steve (16:23), Ashley clocked 17:02 in the last of the four-part series and secured the twenty-two points required to take the title.
Lizzie Poole topped the female standings going into the final event but youngster Lily Winfield, fresh from her Darley Park Race for Life victory last weekend, stole in on the final race to taste victory for the second-successive year.
Needing to compete to get her three out of four races required to count towards her overall tally, Lily went on to better the U13 girls’ record she’d already improved twice this season to come back first in 18:27.
Lizzie (21:39) ran almost two minutes quicker than the previous clockwise-running of the undulating course in May and secured third as Wendy Mullineux (19:06) sandwiched herself in between.
