Club 10 Results - 20/6/2018
in Time Trial
A very warm evening with a brisk Westerly wind - this meant swift outward journeys and as the wind died a touch PBs were the order of the day (8 from 13 Ashwell riders).
Very unfortunately Brendan had some sort of mechanical lock-up on the last hill and came off (possibly over the handlebars) with a suspected broken collar bone. Thanks to all those who stepped in to help sort out transport to Addenbrookes and car and bike return, especially Clare who expertly patched him up at HQ.
Also thanks to Dave W, Robert A, Stuart and Jackie for helping to run the event.
Despite another PB Andy was only 8th in the handicap this week whilst Nathan wins a free entry next week shaving 1:10 off his best time.

Just a general note to everybody riding these TTs, when you’re passing another cyclist (especially one who’s part of the TT) give a loud shout up as a warning. When people are riding full tilt they don’t always hold a straight line and it’s always nice to know if somebody’s going to come flying past you. A couple of riders went past me and Archie in not the safest manner this evening with no warning shouts...
Thanks to all the marshalls and timekeepers this evening. Always good to give something back to the club!
Thank you to everyone who stepped in to help me out, especially Clare for looking after me immediately after, Dave and Jenny for looking after my car, and Vince for taking me to (and waiting with me at) the hospital and bringing me home again. I really, really appreciate it. You've really helped me out.
I have a broken collarbone. It will be assessed by the orthopedic team in a few days and they will decide on the best treatment. If I'm lucky it will settle down and heal in a good position, but I'll just have to wait and see how it goes. If all goes well, it's approximately 6 weeks.
Regarding the accident itself, I think I understand what happend. I was changing gear (rear derailleur), but I think I accidentally also hit the button to change to the small chainring in the front at the same time, causing the chain to come off and get stuck, throwing me off the bike. It seems to be the one flaw I have found with electronic shifting - it is too easy to hit the button by accident when grabbing the handlebars. I went over and landed on the back of my shoulder.
The really annoying thing is that I was 15 seconds faster than last week before I came off. It would have been a decent PB. But it looks like it was a fast night out there. Well done Chris, great time.
It appears the bike got away without a scratch!
James. We have terrible reception at home so couldn't reply to your text.
Take it easy Brendan and get back on the bike very soon.
Keep us updated on progress.
Rest and get well soon Brendan!
What is the general advice then Claire? (out of future interest)
Some bruising is starting to come up in places now, and it's quite sore, but that will pass I'm sure.
The skin suit held up really well. Some small holes in the main impact area, but no big holes. I dare say it's still useable. But not sure if they will just tear through with further use.
