Good conditions for the 25 mile event but unexpected roadworks kept the marshalls on their toes, only finding out they were there when Gordon drove to the top of the course to set up the signs. We just managed to get timekeepers to the traffic lights before the first rider arrived. Careful "traffic management" ment most of the riders were un-impeaded but the unlucky ones lost momentum and rythym, despite getting the lost seconds re-imbursed.
We welcomed Tina Kelly (Pont Tri) to the Thursday night fold, along with first 25 club rides for Simon Emsley and Mark Whaley. Phil Reynolds and Gary Burnie made their second 25 events an improvement on their first and there were 3 PBs - Harry Walker by nearly 2 minutes to take the win, Simon Gibbs by 40 seconds on his return to TTing this year after early season road racing and Ken Thursby by 10 seconds, his goal of going sub 57 thwarted by being stopped North and Southbound by the roadworks to his obvious displeasure but he did recive the compensation of the Vags 25 trophy, to be presented at the awards night in November - best bring a crate, Ken.
