Well, quite a good turnout for an event that never ranks highly on peoples to do lists. Given the conditions at 5am in the morning (persistant drizzle, coming down in waves, the strong westerly winds making uninviting noises.. in short a somewhat glum morning) having 24 starters can be considered an achievement.
By 7am the drizzle had gone while the wind remained, as the times reflect. The roads were greasy and, subsequent to the event, stories abounded of back wheels slipping..only Jim’s resulted in a fall. Punctures were also quite a popular pastime. Well done to Dave M for managing to puncture two years running.
Chris Spence dominated again and for his efforts took home the Tony Richomme Memorial Trophy. Kevin was fastest in the vets category, with Bill and Mike K dong good times. Helen demonstrated her continuing fine form once again and beat Jim handsomely.
Well done to Paul who got first vet on standard and to Tony P for quite remarkable performances and also to Alex Blampied, Sean Bosio and Des on completing their first 50 and setting PBs.
