Fastest SCC went to Ken Addison, Fastest Lady was Maggi Biggs, who pipped Carole James by 1 second!
Rob Rix romped off with the overall Handicap award — I guess he’s been getting some sneaky training miles in since his last ‘counting’ PB in 2018.
We had 111 entries, and 73 finishers with ages ranging from 14 to 88.
4 riders DNF, and there were 34 DNS – many with apologies

Feedback from competitors was very complimentary towards SCC. Many said it was the friendliest and best marshalled Open they’ve ridden for years.
I’d like to congratulate all of the riders who took part and a massive vote of thanks to the management of Mere Brow Village Hall for the continued use of their facilities for the event HQ and also to the huge team of Southport CC members (and families) who gave up their bank holiday Saturday evening to make the event a great success. There are almost too many to name, but you all know who you are.
