25 Mile TT Sunday 27th Aug

Summer finally arrived in the form of a glorious morning with sunshine and a light breeze; early morning that is as my daughter testified, struggling to get out from under her duvet at 5.45. She is just beginning to understand the demands placed on those cyclists committed to their sport. But it was well worth the effort with a good turn out and a flat course leading to some fast times, despite the 3 dead turns which most are now getting used to. Sadly a few riders went ’off piste’ and had to retire, perhaps inevitable with a relatively complicated course. Whilst the 3Cs triumphed in the seniors and vets Jim was first lady and first duo was Bill & Mick with a superb time, just failing to get under the 1hr mark which bodes well for the Duo. Good to see young Sam & dad, John taking part, unfotunately both having to retire having decided to put some extra miles in.

I gather Julie Keighrey was lurking in the bushes at various points on the course and has photograhic evidence of your suffering (if you weren’t suffering you weren’t trying hard enough!) so visit the photos sight to see if she has done you justice.
