Adam Egner took the top junior prize in 23.03 for the Witham Wheelers, and Melissa Mawson was the quickest female junior with a time of 42.22.

Event organiser Linda Hurst said: “This was the first event that I have ever organised, but I cannot take the credit for it as it really was a team effort, supported by members of Sleaford Wheelers.

“The event has been run for the last seven years by Doug Laidlow, who has worked tirelessly to turn this event into a date for everyone’s diary. We reached a field of 138 riders from all over the country; with riders from 12 years of age to riders in their 70s, including two trike riders.

“It was a great event for a great cause.”
