8th May Evening Club 10 TT Results
After early rain, the afternoon turned fair but showery with sunny spells. Although there were some ugly looking clouds around us as race time approached, we had no rain during the event. So apart from a few drying puddles, the only other element to contend with was a breezy South to South Westerly, which tugged at the competitors as they returned up the B1042. This helped explain why - with a few exceptions - the times were a shade slower than last week.
That is, all except Mr. Marriage who smashed his PB set last week, and then jumped on it and gave it a solid kick for good measure: a full 3 minutes 3 seconds faster and a worthy Handicap Winner for the week. But no clean sweep for him as our returning Handicap Champ, Mr. Bumstead "The Guvnor" took the fastest Vet (off Standard) honours - Happy Birthday by the way.
Other notables were our new Club member, Mr. Young - welcome to you, sir - who continues to bang in the solid 22 minute rides as our overall Mens' winner on the night. Ms. Andrews was fastest Lady and Mr. Ayers best Junior: well done both. And I believe we saw a first outing for Mr. Chitu, perhaps tempted by the FREE entry for 1st claim Club members? And we welcomed back an old friend of the Club, Mr. Rosa who put in a spritely 23. Nice to see you.
The Handicap is starting to take shape, but I will tease you with that for another week before publishing the rankings via our new website.
The times were as follows (all CCA unless indicated otherwise).
See you next week!

Well done Jenny on a road bike.
Well done all for turning up and giving it full gas, when the weather looked threatening.
