10 TT series Champions

Congratulations to Allan McCrimmon, Diane Cox and Blair Campbell who have won the Men's, Women's and Junior 10TT series respectively.

The series was made up of eleven 10 mile time trials, ridden every Thursday on the Bridgend to Kirkliston course, through out the summer. Almost 40 riders took part and tested themselves against the clock this year, many thanks to all the competitors who came along and supported the series.

It was Allan's second season racing time trials, having caught the bug last year when he joined the club. He was the most consistent performer week in week out, gradually knocking time off his best performances and finally piping John-Michael Howison in a very tightly contested competition.

Diane rode her first time trial this year and her strong performances and natural ability bode well for the future

At the start of the season the course record was broken 5 times over consecutive weeks by Matthew Ball and Jonathan Buckley, finally staying with Jonathan with an incredible 22.17, a massive one minute and 20 seconds quicker than the previous year.

John-Michael Howison and Grant Craven came second and third in the league respectively with both competitors riding their first time trials this year. They have shown a marked improvement in their performance over the course of the series, beating more experienced riders to the podium.

The series was organised by Steven Fraser who did a terrific job coordinating the volunteers, working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the event went ahead each week.

Members of the club share the responsibility of time keeping and pushing off the competitors, so a big thank you to all those who volunteered their time and kept the event on track.

The last race of the series was fittingly won by Alan last Thursday, here are the results, and the season long league table so you can check how you got on.
