Club Time Trial Results #4
Better weather greeted competitors in the 4th round of the Club Events series leading to improved times for riders. Saw Cheesman topped the standings with a fine 25.16, more than a minute faster than he clocked on his first outing of the year. That was just enough to send Rupert Robinson into 2nd with his 25.20 with Gary Thayre not much further back on 25.53, also more than a minute faster than earlier in the season. Matt Lendon, who prefers the longer distance time trials, clocked 27.29 in his first club event this year and Melissa Birch was pleased to improve on last week’s time, getting comfortably under 30 minutes with her 29.40.Fastest rider on the day was guest Henry Dayus with a rapid 24.27 and another guest rider, Valerie Place, finished with 28:50. Regular Neil Weare suffered a broken spoke on the first lap and was a DNF.
Once again, after application of standard time adjustments to riders over 40, it was all change on the leaderboard with Gary Thayre taking top spot from Valerie Place and Rupert Robinson leapfrogging both Henry Dayus and Sam Cheesman. Behind those, Matt Lendon and Melissa Birch switched places.
With very many thanks to Wendy Holden and Simon Lang for timekeeping, and to Wayne Bailey and Ricky for marshalling. Same time, same place next week. Hope to see more of you competing and seeing just how fast you can ride 10 miles.
