A good turnout for the last Old Gore of the season with 18 riders. Almost all riders putting in a better time than the last outing a couple of weeks ago!
Cookie even on his road bike still managed to come third, and two Ross riders setting new personal bests that I'm aware of(Fallon with a course best, Will(me) with a 10mi best)
EDIT : Results updated as Bill's result was wrong, sorry Bill!
Next Weeks Thursdays Event : The last Walford of the season! Handicap 10, be early for a Handicap in case I have to work them out. Paul is away for the week so I've been left with the list of Handicaps he has already worked out but just in case an early sign on would be helpful.
First rider off at 7PM with sign on outside the Walford school in the lay by as usual. Please sign up no later than 6:45PM.
Dragon Boat Race
It’s that time of year again, Ross Regatta and the Dragon Boat races! Crew of 10 needed for this good fun event, great fun last year with crews dressed up. Two that stick in my mind from last year was Smurfs and even one crew rowing naked (What a startling sight when you first look sideways at the boat!)
Lets get a team together, bring the families and have a good day.

WCA 100
Alan Cook put in a great time at the WCA100 with a time of 03:45:19 unfortunately missing out on first by under a minute!
Paul Fallon put in a real solid time that I would love to do at 04:30:36 and Paul Stephens taking off almost 4 minutes from last year with 04:36:51.

1st annual Tony Hickling Memorial Hill Climb
Climb on Bikes CC are running the 1st annual Tony Hickling Hill Climb up Caplor near Fownhope on the 19th of September.
A meagre 551m of pain to climb 69m with a tremendous record set my Tony Hickling in 1963! Works out at around a lovely 12.5% grade but don’t that fool you as there is a signpost going up for the hill for 17%!!
Sign on from 4PM, first rider off at 5PM. Followed by a BBQ!.

Will forgot to say, he was rider of the night. I'm sure his ride has worried Messrs Fallon & Harwood!
