Cyclists of all ages and abilities turned out today for the STARR Bermuda Junior Cycling Time Trial, hosted by Bermuda Junior Cycling, proving once again that time trials offer one of the most accessible and rewarding forms of bicycle racing.
Riders tackled a challenging course that started at Harrington Sound Public Dock, headed to the Swizzle Roundabout, and then faced a strong headwind along North Shore before returning to Harrington Sound Road. Rather than finishing at the start line, competitors faced a final test with a hill climb up Harrington Hundreds Hill, rewarding those who still had strength left in their legs after the demanding route.
While Bermuda's leading international cyclist Nic Narraway posted the fastest overall time of the day, the event showcased much more than elite performance. From experienced racers to first-time competitors and young riders, participants raced against the clock, themselves, and the course, highlighting the unique appeal of time trialling. Strong performances were recorded across all categories, with close competition throughout the field and an encouraging mix of youth, recreational, and competitive riders taking part.
The overall podium saw Narraway take victory ahead of Matt Boys of Winners Edge in second place and Dylan Eiselt of Winners Edge in third.
The timed climb up Harrington Hundreds Hill provided a separate challenge within the event, with the day's fastest climbers being Nic Narraway (1:28), Matt Boys (1:31), and Alexander Miller (1:32).
Category winners were:
A Category: Nic Narraway (Competitive Edge Racing)
B Category: Stephen Ryan (BRCC)
C Category: Neil MacGuinness (BRCC)
Women's Category: Naomi MacGuinness (Winners Edge)
Youth 13–14: Iris Duda
Youth 11–12: Austin Carr
Time trials remain one of the best entry points into cycling competition, allowing riders to challenge themselves in a supportive environment without the complexity of bunch racing. Today's event demonstrated that success can be measured not only by finishing first, but also by setting a personal best, testing fitness, and enjoying the challenge of the course.
Bermuda Junior Cycling, with the support of title sponsor STARR, provides free training opportunities for young cyclists aged 14 to 18, helping them develop skills, build confidence, and discover a lifelong love of cycling in a safe and welcoming environment.
Beyond competition, cycling offers significant physical, mental, and social benefits. Whether riding for fitness, friendship, personal achievement, transportation, or racing success, cycling is an activity that can be enjoyed at every age and stage of life. Events such as today's time trial provide an opportunity for riders to challenge themselves, set personal goals, and experience the satisfaction that comes from pushing their own limits.
