A cross headwind on the outbound stretch didn’t help much on the return leg, but there were some fast times in round 12 of the club TT series. The Women’s event was close on the night with Emma Serjeant (34:29) nicking it from Louise Downward by 11 seconds as these two battle it out for fastest Woman rider.

In the Men’s event top spot went to Bryn Davies, his 28:36 showing why he has been so dominant in many of the SCCA races this season. Club Junior Tyler Brennan took second place (29:24) and Ashley Banks (29:46) rounded out the podium. This was a fast race in the conditions on a course that is hard to get under 30 mins

Phil Paul did a great job in organizing the event, keeping it safe, and Time Keeping, our thanks to him and to Marshals Conrad Taylor, Mike Williams and Des Pugh. Bryn Davies gets a double as he also gets our thanks for scrummy cakes
