Last 2 weeks in 1

Been a very busy couple of weeks, this one’s no exception, so it’s going  to be very short for the last couple of weeks week adventures of Ross CC…

In the days of hair on the Col de Old Gore

Walford

Wills jinxed as far as we can tell. He had a wee fall whilst looking for a suitable gateway, in the process giving himself a good bruise to the face and hip, also breaking a carbon front wheel (I see there’s a cone in the hole now).

Fallon had an easy  win, with Jwooooooones the steam putting in a good first effort in 12 months. Conditions were monsoon with Richard on a mudguarded bike commenting on the fact he could feel the drag of water going through the mudguard and the tire. Sarah’s first effort produced a very good time for the conditions.

Thanks to Bill for the turn.

Rider of the night was Jwoooones simply as he’d not raced in such a long time period.  

 

Old Gore

After the outing 2 weeks prior to with perfect conditions, this week was going to be a little tougher with a gentle side wind.  Turbo Will set the bar, with Sam from Aber just squeezing into the 24’s. (do they come because were so friendly or because they  want to rid our hardest courses?).

 The Destroyer was not a million miles in front of me, with Max cursing the new machinery. Mr Raddenbury looked more aero this week, losing less time than most from 2 weeks ago.

Ooooh I hate little Fallon. Having passed him, seriously stuffing him back only to find he’s closed it all back down on the last hill. Look out when he learns to ride the flat bits. That gives us until next season then!

I think I spotted a fix for James' fortunes, lets see how it pans out as he’s suffering with his back on his TT machine. Nig was very animated at the club afterwards.  Another new PB on Old Gore, the hills are defiantly where he likes to be.  

Clive watched number 1 go then watched number 3 go before working out he was number 2. This tested a brand new timekeepers skills and patience ("I think he's trying to screw me up" ). Virgil managed a PB as well, looking very good ascending the final climb. 

Last home was Gerald, who’s not been out for a little while. He did try to do the Forest event Tuesday but roadworks had forced them to cancel the event. Check the forum next week to make sure we have no problem as well. The Old Gore will be the alternative…

Thanks this week go to Mary, Dennis, & Bill at the turn. Can’t remember who pushed off! And special thanks to Dave H timekeeping for the first time. “is it really that easy?” he asked.

Rider of the night this week is Nigel. The man was like a dog with 10 tails afterwards.

Next weeks Walford, don’t forget to check the forum for any updates. Wanted turn person!
