NBRC Club time trial, F5v/10 23/4/08 (Astwood)

Well, spring had certainly sprung as I set out for Astwood, and a fine evening prompted an excellent turnout of 30 riders to take part in the latest club time trial held on the Astwood circuit. I've raced there so many times this year that I think I could do it on autopilot!', '

Weather conditions certainly were different from those allocated to Ian Marshall for the Team MK event last weekend - hopefully we'll see some more balmy evenings.
Some excellent performances were seen - particularly a close race for first place between Stuart Tarry and Simon Cannings. Bizarrely claiming to be a newcomer (!), Aaron claimed 3rd place, not far behind those two. The man with the watch (Tony Farmborough) tells me that several NBRC members set personal bests last night - the honours go to the following riders.

Chris Hartley.....................36sec
John Buchanan................. 22sec
Chris Parkes.....................14sec
Alan Lawson......................3sec
Brian Primett......................2sec

Many thanks to Tony and the support crew, and to the 30 riders who turned out to savour the delights of the Astwood circult on the first fine spring evening of 2008. The NBRC are organising the Norlond 10 on Sunday, and road races on Saturday - see the newsflash on the main page. Offers of help and assistance at both those events will be most appreciated by the organisers (Alan Lawson and Gordon Batcock respectively).

UPDATE:

Tony has spotted some further improvements: Katherine Dilks her PB was, 33.18 now 31.32 & Philip O'Dell was, 27.07 now 25.32
