Last weekend’s Schwinn 100 was an epic. The weather, while not the worst that Wales can offer, was pretty terrible and driving rain made the going tough when the 1200 hit the hills around Builth Wells. Local lad, and Schwinn teamster Ryan Bevis led from the start (leaving these marks on the bumper of the pace car!) and sped round the challenging course in a frankly preposterous 3:39:03; Be-One/Powerbar rider Carl Sturgeon took second overall in 3:43:28; and Summit Cycles Paul Newnham finished in an impressive 3:46:41 to take third. The winner’s efforts are put into perspective when you consider that a great number of, mostly fit, people spend eight, bum-numbing hours in the saddle. BIKEmagic’s Cullen Ward finished in 6:47:20.

BIKEmagic’s own Robin and Tom braved the conditions and took the best part of a thousand rider photos. While we had hoped to bring a photo of every competitor the weather made it impossible. The main problem encountered was that people’s race numbers were washed off by the torrential rain. We’ve managed to identify over 700 people, if you’re not among them we can only apologise.
