First Club '10' of the New Season

Signing on at the start

Mark Brewer pushed off by Uncle Malcolm prepares for the start

Chilly and Damp But at Least It Didn't Rain

We were pleased to see 25 riders start our first Club '10' of the year on the Shurlock Row Course. With the rain pelting down only an hour or so earlier organiser Peter Bell thought we'd be lucky to get a dozen riding. It was good to see such enthusiasm after a long cold winter and spring.

Pete Weir maintained his wining start to the season finishing first in 23:38. This despite Pete saying he hadn't been feeling great all week. Jules Fairley looking very lean put in a fast 24:21 beating Sharkie Jaggard by 41 secs. Andrew Payne saw all the traininhg he has been putting in bear fruit this evening by finishing in the same time as Sharkie on a fairly tough evening.

Rob Brockwell put in an impressive 26:11 on a standard road bike while Nigel Shurben was pleased to go under 29 minutes for the first time this year. We were pleased to have 3 first time riders last night with Simeon Pollard producing an excellent 27:20.

Thanks to our members who turned out to run the event on a cold evening including Malcolm and Brian, The Richardsons and Linda Regel who has volunteered to train as a Club timekeeper.
