N&DCA Round 5 of 9 - 10/6/17

edited June 2017 in Time Trial
11 club riders were at the N&DCA Sawtry N1/15 today. The course goes North and turns round at the Stilton roundabout (I think it used to go the other way but was changed when the roundabout further South became a lot busier). Today the course was slow with a strong Southerly wind plus a there has been lot of chip-resurfacing work over the last couple of years.

Gareth had a sick ride, clocking 35:23 for 6th place - unfortunately he hadn't clocked exactly how the course was laid out and ended up with very little warm up. To cap it all he was attacked during the event by a bird having to unclip to alleviate the beast and also he was actually sick during the race, bad luck Gareth but a great ride all the same!

The event was won by Paul Pardoe of Peterborough CC in a time of 33:22 and CCA picked up 2nd team losing to Peterborough.

Ashwell results as follows (total of 64 riders):

6th Gareth D - 35:23
10th Jason S - 35:41 (7th X-Cat)
12th Mark C - 36:07
17th Jackie F - 36:48 (First Lady and X-Cat)
22nd Brendan R -36:55
24th James M -37:08 (First Y-Cat)
34th Emma K -39:37 (2nd Lady)
41st Noah F 40:52 (1st Junior)
42nd Stuart F 40:55 (X-Cat not sure)
45th Janet B 41:18 (4th Lady)
48th Richard G - 42:20 (4th Z-Cat)

Well done everyone

  • Nice write up James.

    Gareth had all that happen to him and still got that time - brilliant. Saw him arrive at the line just in time.
  • Thanks @james @""Stuart F". It was one of the hardest TTs I've ridden with the wind, the hill at the end and it was warm. Left my garmin at home so rode by feel ie go hard and hold on.

    I think the bird got caught out by the wind as well.

    Sorry we didn't have time to stop and say high at the end.
  • hey Emma, mentioned in dispatches on the CTT website :-)
