A beautiful if blustery evening for the first of the VSJ Time Trial Series, a 5 m TT. It was harder on the way out than the return leg with winds blowing NNW. It made for a fun return leg.
Island Games competitor Dave Jardine had the fastest time with 11:02 despite having a puncture. Punctures were the order of the day with first Vet with 11:29, Steve King, managing to borrow a puncture-free tubular minutes before he set off. Rob Coutanche was first junior in equal 7th place with 11:43 and in the ladies field Jim Davis edged ahead of Helen Goulding with 12:21.
Good turnout for the juniors with Stephen Haley, Carl Laugeard and Sam Carney all posting very respectable times. Competition was strong throughout the field, with close times between quite a few folk, notably the Triathletes, Laura and Jo, Jim and Bob to mention only a few!
