Tyne Velo Hilly 21
Apr-2000

NATIONAL time trial champion Chris Newton (Middridge CRT) took advantage of the good conditions to slash more than a minute from Harry Walker's record for the Belsay-based course.

After a stormy week, the tough Northumberland circuit offered dry roads and light winds as Newton stormed round in 44-08 for a decisive gap of 3-25 over Mark Addinall (STG Racing), the overall leader in Tyne Velo's three-race series with a final '10' to come.

The series has proved a popular draw and has been sponsored by Kellogg's and Robinson's, who also backed the club's reliability ride in mid-April.
