So, 4 22's, 4 23's and no 24's! weird. Well done to Henry Farrell for the win by 1 second. Will joins the 22 club, Tim F beats his goal time before heading off East for a year and loads of people get a pb. Everyones happy, except possibly James Mc who had to borrow a wheel after puncturing at the start and Craig D who punctured a tub at the top of Northfields.
Thanks to Matt for timekeeping and Carmelo for shoving.

    Ha, be careful, before you know it you will be talking obscure course codes, getting up at the crack of dawn on a sunday to ride a dual carriageway near Ipswich and remortgaging your house to buy disc wheels, pointy helmet and the latest teflon coated lycra.

    Oh. Is that the wrong thing to do or the right thing to do?
  • LukeDanckertLukeDanckert
    Right thing!!! Enjoyed tonight, think i need to do more of this. Did i notice someone taking photos??
  • tducketttduckett
    Theres no wrong thing to do in cyclesport (not even mountain biking) especially if it requires getting another bike....n+1 remember.
  • jackie Fieldjackie Field
    Yes Tim currently 18 I think in our house. (even MTB's :-)

    It was me taking pics and will post a link when I have uploaded them. Some will not be that good as I was taking them on the move myself.

    The guy with no head gear, is his bike collapsing down in on its self?

    Thanks to all those who time kept and set off - almost as horrible as last year's TT, my only other TT experience.
    How the guys and gals who do this, week in - week out is quite beyond me; it's brutal, thus .... I retire ; 0

    PS - I would like to take credit for the favourable wind since it was my "last ride" for the foreseeable future.
  • tducketttduckett
    No, hes riding an old lo pro with shamals! as a polo bike. Hey, maybe we could have polo matches on the tennis courts? that might be fun

    Remember that the correct number of bikes is n - 1 (that's n minus one), where "n" equals the number of bikes that would result in separation from your chosen life partner!

    Read The Rules as posted by the Velominati, the Keepers of the Cog ... Available at a website near you! ;-)

    A brief resume of how I lopped some time off my only other TT this time last year.

    Thanks to those who joined me for a beer last night - cheers.

    Thanks!
    Looks like I have a death grip going on with the bike - but the colour scheme works which was quite unintentional I promise!
  • JaneJane
    That's one hell of a steep hill!
    Even the trees are falling over backwards
  • JMacJMac
    Many thanks to geoff118 for the loan of a front wheel for a restart at the back of the field. Also thanks to Tim, Matt and Carmelo for their help.
  • carmelocarmelo
    Hey James, considering you did 45 miles @ 18.8 avg earlier in the morning that was e good ride!
  • GilgameshGilgamesh
    James' ride was a total of 63 miles in the morning .... then the flat tyre and a walk back, then his TT.
    All on the back of having recently turned 20 (for the third time).
