Club TT Series Final Standings – 2017

Graham Harris
Here are the final results of this years Club Series.  Thanks to everyone who took part by marshalling, providing cakes, putting out signs, taking in signs, riding and especially to Tony Brooks and Phil Paul for organising the whole thing.  Without you lot there would be no time trials and nothing to do on a Wednesday evening!  Thanks must also go to the members of the committee who do a lot behind the scenes to ensure that we have a thriving club able to ...

Club TT Series Round 15 – 30 August 2017

Graham Harris
The last time trial of the season took place tonight on the 12.8 mile Newtown course.  With everything to play for the whole season came down to this race for the top two riders, Peter Thomas and Ashley Banks.  Ashley had to beat Peter and come first on the night in order to tie the whole series.  Unfortunately for Ashley there was the little matter of Bryn Davies to contend with.  Bryn has been winning virtually everything he has entered this season but h...

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...

Club TT Series Round 12 – Newtown 12.5mile TT, 2 August 17

Members First
(Thanks to Steve Higgins for the photos - more at the end of the post) 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...
