The Mighty Mitre have been bossing it in the early stages of the TT season with some excellent rides and podiums galore.
Cris Coxon, Adrian Ford and John Franklin kicked off the season with a Team win for the Mitre at the East Sussex CA March 10 on 9th March. Cris won the event with Adrian 3rd and John 4th.
Rory Knapp flew the flag for the Mitre at the RTTC National Road Bike Championship on 13th April, coming 46th overall.
April 18th saw Mitre continuing their winning ways at the Crawley Wheelers 42 with Cris atop the podium and Karla Boddy taking first place in the Female Road bike category.
April 21st saw the Mitre hosting the 27.3 TT. Jack Smith carried the BMCC flag that morning, coming 5th overall.
Jump forward to the Steyning weekender on the 10th and 11th May and yet again you’ll see Cris atop the podium in the SCA 10 on the 10th. Cosmo Derangi was 1st in the road bike category, Rory Knapp 2nd in the road bike category and Tracey Williams 2nd in the Female TT bike category. At the time of writing the official results for the SCA 25 on Sunday 11th May haven’t been posted but Strava tells me that, surprise surprise, Cris won the event, setting a new course PB. Also on the start sheet were Cosmo, Donald Parker, Tracey and as ever Robin Johnson. I’ll update this when results are published, but it’s fair to say it was a cracking weekend on racing.
Robin hasn’t been off the bike it seems, competing in 7 events already this season.
Casting eyes forward we have a calendar full of events. On the bank holiday weekend the Mitre are hosting 2 TT’s. Monday 26th May sees the 10 and the Hilly 10 taking place over at Steyning.
