PREVIEW: VTTA National 15-Mile Championship

There is a big field of riders heading for North Yorkshire on Sunday in pursuit of the VTTA National 15-Mile Championship crown.
Last year’s fastest rider on age-adjusted time, Jen Clegg (Team Bottrill-Nopinz) is ineligible for the title so the 2026 female crown looks likely to go to Liz Ball (Edinburgh RC), Deb Hutson-Lumb (Legato Racing Team), Susan Semple (Legato RT) and Joanna Cebrat (360 cycling) as well as several others.
In the open event Legato RT field a strong team with Mike Lythgoe, Steven Loraine and Alastair Semple among their numbers. Meanwhile Russ Richardson (Zurbaran Racing) could challenge for the win, while prolific national title holder Adam Duggleby (ADDFORM VLV) riders on a trike.
And in the tandem competition, Mary Corbett and Norman Harvey of Sotonia CC make the long journey north to compete, and perhaps break a record or two?
The event is organised by Jymmy Trevor and VTTA Yorkshire, and uses the A168 starting near Arkendale and heading out and back between Boroughbridge and Walshford.
A report from this event will be published shortly afterwards on the VTTA website and Facebook.
