The Virgin Islands Cycling Federation’s M2M Time Trial saw twenty cyclists take on a challenging 10-mile course Sunday morning, racing individually against the clock under sunny skies and strong coastal winds.
Riders were released at one-minute intervals from the start line in front of Welco Service Station in Gallows Bay, and faced a demanding route up the Christiansted Bypass and down Southside Road before finishing in Sally’s Fancy, in front of the former Milgie’s Convenience Store.
Stephen Swanton claimed the overall victory, shaving 45 seconds off his time from last year to finish in 27 minutes and 25 seconds. Elite cyclist Robin Seila recorded the second fastest time of the day, finishing in 30:33, while Expert rider Ted Prosper secured third place with a time of 32:57.
Category winners included Joseph Thomas in the Sport division (35:55), Ralph Bartlett in the Masters division (34:54), and Kat Brownsdon, who was the fastest among the women with a time of 34:28.
The next race on the VICF’s schedule will be held in St Thomas on Sunday, August 10. For more information, please contact 340-643-5050.
