Sam Fawcett from Hemel Hempstead was the fastest woman, with a time of 25 minutes and 13 seconds. Sam is a member of Berkhamsted club Lovelo Squadra Donne.

Paul Gardner, performance officer at Berkhamsted Cycling Club, said: “Sam and Nick both posted powerful rides, and all riders from first to last off raced hard trying to catch their minuteman – the rider starting one minute ahead of them in the race.

“All in all, despite the conditions we’ve had a wonderful, safe exciting and fun race.”

Berkhamsted Cycling Club has organised the event every year since 2015, and it is one of a programme of annual events the club organises.
