1st July - Icknield RC 25 (F1/25)

Congratulations to Tony Marriott on winning this year's Garrett Cup with 1:01:50.  It would have been quicker had he stuck to the correct route.  Still he did better than Barry who just got lost.  Peter's time of 1:04:43 was affected by the previous afternoon's exertions.  Saturday's racing was all done with an average heart rate of 145+ whereas Sunday's was ridden at an average of 134 - he never got out of Zone 5.  Again Alex Dowsett made a mockery of the conditions with a course record of 47:53, beating 2nd place by 5 and a half minutes.  How come the course conditions never seem to affect the top riders?
