Newtown TT Organizer Phil Paul pulled out the stops tonight. On Monday it looked like the event would have to be changed to an alternative course because of road works. Extra Marshals were found and then it all had to revert to the planned Newtown 11.5. Diane Paul also helped with the time keeping and, what’s more she, Phil and daughter Sarah Smith, also provided the cakes (proceeds to Severn Hospice). Chapeau Phil. The event simply doesn’t happen without a great deal of work behind the scenes. This week took even more and all that rode the event really appreciate the efforts made. Thanks also to Mark Hill and Des Pugh for marshalling
Warm with a light westerly wind and thick, muggy air conditions were perfect for a hard race.
Rebecca Richardson continued with her fine form. She was 10th overall and first home in the Women’s race with a sub 30 minute ride (29:26). Emma Serjeant’s 34:48 gave her second, less than a minute ahead of third placed Louise Downward (35:46). Jackie Harris and Sahrah Wilding battled it out for fourth and fifth with just 2 seconds separating them
Bryn Davies returned to winning ways with 26:22, edging the consistent Ian Nisbett into second (26:55) with Pete Thomas claiming the last podium spot with 26:56
