In Caithness Cycling Club’s final 10-mile time trial of the season, winner Andrew “Hamper” MacLeod took three seconds off his best time this year with a speedy 21 min 32 sec. David McCarthy had an excellent second place to equal his season’s best, just 37 seconds in arrears.
They were followed by a strong Wick Wheelers trio of Graeme Clyne, Danny Miller and Ian Nicholson, who all beat the 25 mph barrier.
Alistair Miller put in a great performance. He needed the maximum of six points in the Handicap League to jump into the bronze medal position and he achieved this with just four seconds to spare by paring seven seconds off his previous best this year.
In the Handicap League Iain Miller and Angus MacKay were already in unassailable positions for gold and silver and had a good lead over the rest of the field but the battle for the bronze medal was close, with just 3.5 points separating three riders.
