    Hi folks,

    Tonight's event was again held on the shortened course due to the roadworks. The evening was reasonably warm but quite windy. But luckily it was a cross-tailwind on the outward direction that is a little more helpful, and with a low pressure system (that was creating the winds and the many showers earlier in the day) meant that most people were doing times almost the same as last week that was thought to be a good day. Sadly the weather likely did put off a number of people so numbers were well down on normal with only 10 taking the start line.

    Hi folks,

    We started tonight on the shortened course (approx 7.3 miles) due to the road works that will result in a nice smooth surface for the fist mile or so on the normal course. The roadworks are scheduled to last 3 weeks so we will be using this course and the earlier 7pm start time until then. It is important to note that it will take over 5 minutes to get to the start from the HQ - so leave at least 10 minutes beforehand - traffic lights can add an extra couple of minutes!

  • Club 10 Result 01-07-10

    Hi Folks,

    Tonights event was warm and with a southerly breeze helping riders out to the turn - although of course it felt like a gale coming back into it on the return journey!

    The event was also the annual Athletes Ten, where all normal aero equipment is banned - road bikes and wheels being the order of the day. Of course for several people it was business as usual as that's the only bike they have or use! But for the TT bike owners it's a rare event to compare everyone  fairly, and to make comparisons with days gone by.
