Caithness Cycling Club: Miller has 33-second advantage in time trial

In week five of Caithness Cycling Club’s 10-mile time trial season Iain Miller clocked the fastest time with a 33-second advantage over Alistair Miller, with Angus MacKay edging out Roger Broughton for third place.

With a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of just three miles per hour, conditions were pleasant but not fast as the course needs a north-west breeze to help riders on the predominantly uphill outward leg. Nevertheless three riders recorded their best times this year, with Phil Cartwright improving by a massive 73 seconds, followed by Gary Angus (38 seconds) and Alistair Miller (one second).

Results: 1 Iain Miller, 26 min 43 sec; 2 Alistair Miller, 27.16; 3 Angus MacKay, 27.52; 4 Roger Broughton, 27.55; 5 Phil Cartwright, 29.14; 6 Gary Angus, 29.24; 7 Peter Forsyth, 31.21.

Wick Wheelers' 10-mile time trial (week five): 1 Stuart Anderson, 22.23; 2 Danny Miller, 24.04; 3 Hamish McAllan, 24.27 (PB on this course); 4 Iain Nicolson, 24.54; 5 Iain Miller, 27.11; 6 George Ewing, 28.04; 7 Derek Fraser, 28.48 (PB); 8 Charlie Mackay, 28.50; 9 James Munro, 30.51; 10 Lisa Coghill, 33.26.
