Perfect conditions for the KM sprint this year was the cue
for the course record to fall, and fall it did.

| Gerald giving it large |
Will popped a swift one in
banging 38mph down the course, complaining he was dying over the line. From
where I was stood at the finish, I could hear power still happening through his
rear tub. Yours truly took the first losers slot just pipping Millie & the Missile
who both looked surprised after!
Taff’s Circuit training has paid off matching Fallons pace
down the course. A mere second later was The Destroyer who tied with Nick (who
was on a road bike I think). Harwoods 40 mile warm up failed to pay off, taking
off and trying to do the course in a spinney gear all the way down. Still not a
bad time for a spinney gear…
Tony for 2 years running did a 18, just scalping Humming
Bird Legs Fallon who has yet to develop the monster power of the front runners.
The Spinner and The Animal are locked in their own little battle, on this
occasion coming out equal.
The first of this seasons new comers was Richard who’s
getting stronger every ride, with Wayne keeping him honest. Now unless I’m
mistaken, Wayne obviously wants a good season average on his certificate at the
end of the year (26:6 mph), crafty!
Young Mark managed to knock 16 seconds off his previous
best, but I’m sure if he’d had a second go could have possibly gone faster.
Come try it rider Martin (Will, Julie got his name wrong) enjoyed the experience,
sounding disappointed it was the end of the season. Hopefully we will see him
again in the future.
Gerald found the evening hard running out of speed with 400
metre left to go. Tom knocked a large amount off his best escorted by dad down
the course, with Felix also having his first outing with his dad rounding off the
riders.
Thanks this week to Mary for the start, Julie the finish.
Steve Millard, Paul Fallon & Richard for pushing off. Apologies for the
lack of hundredths, as Julie had inadvertently given Mary the watch with the hundredths who did the start.
Rider of the night this week has to be Turbo Will, what a
time, what a new challenge for the rest of us to beat…
Vintage Tankard team looking good so far, stay fit and
focused so we retain it again. Keep the 7th October free.
Next event is the Aber & Back on 16th September.
Keep an eye on the forum as this may have to be cancelled due to road works at
Pencraig. Alternatively we may shorten it and finish at Whitchurch. Any volunteers
to hold a watch if it goes ahead?
