I realised tonight that a still evening with absolutely no wind means that you have a headwind both ways! A total of eighteen riders discovered this tonight with a close fought battle in the male competition. Equal first, in a time of 22mins 32secs, were Peter Thomas and Ashley Banks with Conrad Taylor in third place in 23mins 29secs.
The womens competition was won tonight by Emma Serjeant in a time of 25mins 43secs with Louise Downward just 12 seconds...

Tonight it was a little bit cooler than it has been lately, and a little bit wetter too! There was also a tiny little headwind on the outward leg! Fifteen riders braved the conditions with Pete Thomas leading the pack home in a time of 23mins 14secs. Ashley Banks was second sixteen seconds behind and third was Glyn Jones in a time of 25mins 1sec. The womens race was won by Louise Downward in 26mins 51secs with Emma Serjeant runner up in 27mins 25secs. ...
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...

I know it's nice that the council like to keep our roads pristine and pot hole free but why do they always seem to do it on our race night? Tonights 25 mile course was subject to roadworks near to Four Crosses so a decision was made by the organisers (Phil and Tony) to reduce the route and turn at the Livestock Market island. This meant that the course was just over half distance at 12.6 miles.
Twenty two riders enjoyed a warm evening with a headwind ...
This weeks round of the Club TT Series incorporated the latest round of the SB Sports Series and therefore numbers were swelled slightly in comparison with recent weeks. A total of thirty eight riders lined up (including twenty three club members) to take on the Welshpool ten mile course with a slight headwind after the turn around at Four Crosses roundabout.
Overall winner on the night was Luke Pollard from RAFCA in a time of 20mins 52secs (the sort o...
