Week 3 TT results

Last Thursday provided perfect time trailing conditions, warm, dry and an east wind blowing the riders back to the finish.

The first three finishers were quicker than the previous week's course record, with Matthew Ball in top spot.

Bob Morrell and Stewart Andrews rode their first ever time trial and both produced creditable times, with Stuart getting under 30 minutes. Blair Campbell began his campaign to retain the junior trophy clocking a 36 minute time.

Thanks to everyone who came out to race and to Andy and Graham for doing the marshalling duties. 16 riders took part, our biggest turn out this year and the 2nd biggest for over a year.

What the riders said:

Jonathan Buckley "Great evening for it, well done to all riders and a big thanks to the timekeeper and pusher-off"

Allan McCrimmon "Really enjoyed tonight's TT. I thought I got a pb but I was 5 seconds short. Oh well, I'll just have to try again next week"

Colin Humphries "Great night for it! Preferred the tailwind on the way back! Hopefully catch you all next week!"

If you are not in a cycling club you are welcome to come along and ride a race.
