Racing over the distance for the first time, Richard Bideau (Pendle Forest CC) shattered the 12-year-old competition record for 100 miles on a ‘float’ morning for Stockton Wheelers CC’s time trial on the two-lap Crathorne-Dishforth course which will be used for next year’s national championship.

Going into uncharted territory after reaching 50 miles in 1:39.48, the Burnley 44-year-old was even quicker over the second half to finish in 3:18.54 – taking 3.51 from Kevin Dawson’s 2003 record.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
