KM Sprint

KM Sprint

Good conditions greeted the warriors of brute power for this year’s Kilo Sprint. My predictions were correct with “Turbo Will” just sneaking the win from the “Ginger One” who looked stronger at the finish than the start. Will on the other hand thought he was held up by traffic at the far end, anyway they were in a class of their own…..

Fallon just squeezed in for a bronze medal ahead of Millie a past champion, with me miles off the pace this year. Max’s first go produced a good result, with “Typing Tony” showing there is power in them legs over the shorter distances. Does this mean he will fly up the hill climb? 

Apologies must go to Clive “The Animal Newey” who’s first run’s time was not successfully recorded and to make things worse looked like he was having a stormer. Julie’s very sorry. 

Young Matt must have been happy as he took 21 seconds off his PB from 12 months ago. Gerald normally known for bring up the rear had his best placing this season which made him smile. The Ladies couldn’t have been much closer. Julie Suff just edged out Mary Munchkin by a second (got to check the official results sheet when I get them back, a typewriting error from Typing Tony). I think it would have been even closer if Munchkin hadn’t played with her gears with 120 metres to go. First time on the race bike after 5 years also put a smile on Sam’s face just edging out the old guard with Siz this year being the best of the Musketeers from Peb then “The Presidante”. Last man home was young Tom on his mountain bike. In years to come I can see Tom being the man to beat, as he’s already quicker than dad on the down hills.

Timing thanks to Bill for starting, Julie Stephens for finishing, Mike D for pushing off and Bob The Boat at the crossroads.

Rider of the night was Sam Phillips for an inspired return to stamping on the pedals.
