This week was the Jack 
Morgan 10, and one with a pot at the end of it for the winner! With no Cookie around one thing was for sure, he wasn’t going to have it this year. The conditions were cool with what felt like a head wind out. Funny enough it felt like a head wind home as well, so am
going to assume the air was dense which made it tough in both directions. This year pot winner was “Turbo Will”. He noted power was up but his time was slower, which goes to prove it was hard going. Not a million miles away was Dave H. the only other person to be in the same minute As Will, and not that far behind either.
With my 12hr legs, in theory I should have been suffering a bit more but was more than happy to take third spot on the podium. Jwoooooones on one of his rare outings was hoping to take my scalp, but ended up just in front of Wobbly Bob who in turn was only just in front of Taff. It must be pointed out that 2nd to 6th all had many continental miles over some big climbs in their legs from past adventures over the past few weeks.
Visiting rider Jon came back for another go knocking 21 second off his best so far. “The Spinner” is stuck in no mans land at present, the only one in the 27’s.
Charlie on a TT machine looked very fast for the first 3 miles, but slowed once the climbs started. Must be pointed out he’s knocked almost a minute off his PB for this year. “Terse Tony” has to set his sights on Young Charlie, this could become a good battle to watch for the rest of the year.
Young Fallon junior has 
improved every outing so far, this week only 6 seconds away for his first sub evens (20mph average).
Bill took a young bloods scalp this week. Young Ollie did the mathematics at home before he came out, was it possible to ride hungry or should he have something to eat before hand? Well he decided the large portion of pie & chips his mum had got him were fine. Not wishing to be piggish, he declined the curry sauce, but alas they were a little heavier in the beer chamber than first anticipated, which in turn slowed his forward momentum down a little.
Only 2 seconds of his best this year Gerald rounded off the tail end of the field.
This week’s rider of the night for a second time this year goes to Young Mr. Fallon. Dad normally rides just behind him, this week he gave him a bit more space so it was defiantly more of a solo effort, well done Matt.
Thanks this week to Julie, the watch, Earl launch control & The Destroyer at the half way point.
A Marshal will be required for next week. The week after, we will require a timekeeper & turn marshal. Let me know if you can help out with either.
Next week is an Old Gore 10
Next weekend is the Club opens. Again if you can spare the club/us some time please contact either Will or myself. If anyone wants to donate a cake for the events, we would be grateful. http://rosscyclists.blogspot.com/2011/07/open-events-start-sheets-we-16-and-17.html
