Bloy finished in 21:31, beating his nearest challenger, James Gelsthorpe of new Lincolnshire team Velo-One/Staples Vegetables by 17 seconds.

There was a light wind, by Fenland standards, but the several climbs over flyovers above the A47 were as tough as ever.

However, Wendy Gooding (Team Bottrill) made light of these climbs to lower the women's course record to 25:24. Chris Nudds, of CC Breckland, took the prize for the Over 60s with 24:46. This was Nudd's second fast ride of the weekend, having recorded 21:57 for 10 miles on roads south of Newmarket the previous afternoon.

Other local times catching the eye in this Eastern Counties CA event included 21:10 from Andrew Knowles (North Norfolk Whs), 21:16 from Oliver Cozens (Norwich ABC) and 21:17 from Neil Empson (Anglia Velo).
