Club TT Series Round 13, Berriew – 16 Aug 2017

Graham Harris
With rain forecast for 7pm twenty two riders took to the start line for this evenings 10 mile time trial in Berriew.  As it happens the rain held off until everyone had finished but there was the little matter of the strong head wind on the return leg to contend with.  So bad was it that I thought that the second five miles was at least twice as far as the first five! Competition is still tight at the top with Ashley Banks coming out on top this week wi...

On a blistering hot evening there were some blistering hot times recorded in tonights round of the TT series.  Thankfully I had a zip malfunction on the line and was unable to close my skinsuit zip leaving a nice big flappy gap for some nice fresh wind to cool me down (I'm sure it was only marginal losses!). The winners tonight were Tyler Brennan in 29mins 36secs and Emma Serjeant in 35mins 49secs.  Second place went to Ashley Banks and Sahrah Wilding a...
