The Bonehill Express arrives in Record Time

Matt Bonehill set off today on a mission.  After setting a new club course record two weeks ago on the K7/50 and coming within 50 seconds of a course record time set by Scott Westwood (Walsall RC) in 2009, one of the fastest testers in the country, Matt set off today to better Scott’s time.  With favourable conditions at the start he completed his first 25 miles in an impressive 55:26 leaving a few spectators thinking he may have gone off too fast.  As the wind speed increased it seemed touch and go how he would perform in the second half of his ride.

Not to disappoint Matt rode a super strong second half finishing with an average cadence of 95, travelling at 11.6m per second, an average speed of  26.44mph he smashed Scott’s time finishing in 1:53:22 knocking 1 min and 41 seconds off his time.

An incredible ride and demonstrates what a superb rider Matt is at every cycling discipline he turns his hand too.

Well done Matt from all the Stafford RC members who were out to cheer you on today
