Summer series, event 1

Weeek 1 and, boy, was it a windy one! A slow start to the series with only five riders but great to see them doing battle over the wonderful windy Wolds. Jeff had a particularly good evening with the fastest actual time over the course of 28.24, the fastest time when the handicap had been applied of 21.30, and the fastest hill climb time of 8.15. The other three guys - Dave Schubert, Mike Agar and Steve White - were only seconds apart on the hill climb with times of 8.48, 8.45 and 8.47 respectively.

Lorraine put in a great effort, having spent nearly an hour putting signage up around the course! And she was ranked second on the final placings with a handicap time of 22.53. And, as always, a big thank you to the helpers: Jackie was initiated into timekeeping (whatever you do, don’t stop the clock!) and was ably assisted by Tom. Anne Blood ran the kitchen and Keith and Cathy Underwood marshalled and timed the hill climb. Many thanks to you all.

The next race is in TWO WEEKS TIME - Thursday 29th July - 6.30pm sign on, 7pm start at Burton Fleming village hall. Please come along - more cakes need to be eaten!
