The wind picked up on the return leg and the weather closed in somewhat, the last mile was ridden into a tough headwind. Nevertheless the course record was broken for the second week in succession, this time by Matthew Ball
Andy Richards continues to knock time off his PB and said "I know we have only had 2 TTs so far but I've really enjoyed them. The start and finish points have been moved and are as safe as we can make them. There is a good atmosphere before and after the trial with a decent amount of gentle ribbing and encouragement being given out.
I really like the fact that novices like me can be in an event with seasoned riders and not get shot out the back. In fact its probably about the only time that I will be in a 'race' and be at the finish in time to see some of the faster guys come over the line"
The TT takes place on thursday's, Sign on by 7.15pm, race starts 7.30pm

Great time Matt, sub 23 on that course with the wind well done!
Thanks Jonathan. That time was set on a slightly shorter course than the one we rode the previous week, where you broke the course record.
It turns out that we had positioned the start in the wrong spot, so your time was on a course longer than 10 miles!
Wait till you ride the proper distance!
Matt
