Many thanks to Audrey for doing the timing, Mary and Robin for pushing off (and then Robin riding!), and lastly to Mr Jones for stepping in at the last moment and doing the turn.
With Paul back now this is the last time this season to have to put up with my dreary posts :) anyway.....
Another great turn out with 19 brave souls heading out onto the last yet windy Walford for the season, yet not a normal one, the favourite Handicap 10!
A new course record of 20:34 was set, smashing an incredible 1 minute off Alan Cook's previous best time round the course, oh wait, its a handicap time and it doesn't count!
Colin Parry set the pace for the night and even with the wind many people improving on their previous times at the last Walford!
Another 2 PBs set, Mark Lavington knocking off a few more seconds getting incredibly close to that 25 minute bracket so no doubt next season he will get there! Will (me) knocking off over a minute from his previous best Walford time putting himself into the middle of the 24 min bracket.
I would wager there was a possibly a 3rd, or at least the fastest ride on the Walford course in the last few years by Steve Millard putting in an incredibly low 25, almost getting into the 24s. Faster than any rides on the course that I can find on the Club website. I do think he is ramping getting ready for the kilo sprint in 2 weeks time!
Full list of results below, first by Handicap then by actual time
Rider of the night was Will for knocking off over a minute from his PB.
This week's Thursday event (27th August): Long hill climb, first rider off at 7pm
Forest clubs Tuesday event (25th August) : Cannop Kilo Sprint, first rider off at 7pm
