Big thanks to everyone who came out for tonightโs club time trial!
First off, huge thanks to Ros and Marcy for timekeeping, and to our marshals Oli Gill, James Rowat, Andy Haas, and Alasdair Hitchin on the start line. The event genuinely couldnโt have run without your supportโmassively appreciated ๐ย Photo from Phil Standfield to posted here tomorrow ๐ธ
The weather turned out windier than forecast, and as the sun dropped, so did the temperature. Conditions werenโt ideal for fast times, but that didnโt stop a few from flying!
A well deserved shout out to Ben Ansell firstly , whoโs clearly made the most of a long winterโs training! He bagged a brand new PB tonight with 25:14. Iโm sure this wonโt be the only PB this year.
Road Bike
Brett Wheeler is coming into formโover 20 seconds quicker than last week with a 21:42, taking the quickest time on the night ๐ฅ
Fastest lady was Rowena Taylor, on her first evening TT of the season, clocking 28:05.
It was incredibly tight between 2nd and 3rd! Although Andy Pickett went 30 seconds quicker than last week, Ashley Newman just pipped him to second with 22:58 vs 23:02, respectively.
TT Bike
Robbie Fall edged out Martin Mitchell to take his first victory in the TT category, setting times of 23:35 and 23:47, respectively.
Rounding off the podium was Dawson Hardiman. On his first time racing the course, he clocked an impressive 24:46.
Robbie commented after the TT, despite remembering his cycling shoes this week, he was two seconds slower than when he wore his hiking shoes three weeks ago. Maybe Fizik, Bont et al. are missing something ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Enjoy the long Easter weekend. Same time, same place next weekโsee you then! ๐ค
