A tougher night tonight with an unhelpful wind kept the PB count low. Several riders cruised over the line clearly having decided a finishing effort was in vain.

Only 3 riders recorded a new high water mark, along with 2 who rode their second event faster than their first. 

Russ Hughes recorded a 3rd consecutive PB and Chris Bartram and Francis Smith completed the set. Gary Burnie and Paul Hague both found the benefit of a second run

It must have been hard as Mark Whalley failed to PB!

Ken Thursby took the win and his first ever on a club event (he chose well as it was the Championship night so he`ll get a cup to go with his success come November). This was only the second time he`s been under 23 minutes.

Tania takes the ladies 10 mile championship by 11 seconds from Caroline and Matthew Wells takes the Junior title with a very measured effort. 

Miriam Jessett and Mike James took the unorthodox route to PBs by riding as a 2 up - I cant allow that to stand for either of them individually but its AFAIK the record (and first ever) TTT result for a club night.

Alex Buckthorp and Martin Heardman rode their first club events. Welcome.

Comendations go to Raymond Bell who hasnt missed a single 10 since the start of 2016 and Ronnie Thompson who has ridden every 10 since May 2014.

Another night of good conditions with 7 PBs and 5 new riders.

Tight at the top with all the podium places within 10 seconds in the short 57s and another record breaking ride for in form Matty Wells to take 4th spot and last man under the hour.

His ride is a massive PB (by nearly 13 minutes if my records are correct) and a new Vags under 16 record by over 5 minutes.

PBs also recorded for David Wall,Don Speight,Ken Thursby,Lesley Bennett,Russ Hughes (over 2 minutes) and Roger Clarke (since 2013, although hes been a lot faster previously and was the long standing record holder until a couple of years ago).

UPDATE. Mattys ride is also the fastest an under 16 vag has been on any 25 course and Lesleys PB is also a new record for V50 ladies. Congratulations. Its hard to keep track of all these tumbling records.

Newcomers to the Thursday night TTs are Adrian Snell, Joanne Rea,Julian MacBride - making an impression by turning up and taking the win,Mal Gray and junior Matthew Mernin. Welcome to you all.

The results follow and are getting more complex as they now include multiple championship tables and the splits from raceclocker.

If you are a vet but dont appear as such in the data tables its because we dont have your date of birth. If you wish to be given the correct status let me know and i`ll update the database to give you due credit.
