A warm, sticky evening brought out some great times from the riders who turned out for this visit to the Stoke Hammond bypass course. Personally speaking, this was yet another occasion when I actually thought I'd go sub 22:30 on this course, but was thwarted by the false flat on the run up to the finish. Still, I seem to be edging closer to Tony. Having tried out a pointy aero hat last week, Gilbert paired that move to the modern world with a set of aero bars this week!
Tim Carter's fine ride of 20:39 was particularly notable, beaten only by the tandem.
