Old Gore 10 15th May

 A nice temperature was the order of the night for the Old Gore this week, with a slightly changeable strength breeze helping homeward bound. With the Racing snake full of cold and Hayfever, and several others suffering at training camp the door was wide open for Max & Adam T to go head to head for top honors. From my vantage point along the course Max was the quicker on the way out, but on the hill to the finish Adam was going like a man possed up to the finish. This netted him bragging rights leading the field home, Max settling for top Ross rider. 

New Boy Phil pacing himself

James once again had a good ride with Nigel this week closing James down. Plenty more to come there I think. 

Virgil giving it large

Thomas "The Power" Knight was the only other rider to get inside evens. Virgil was just outside evens, but with all the miles he’s accruing it won’t be long before he’s knocking chunks off his PB. 

Jon Airey Aero

Jon’s  slowly chipping at his times, will he brake the evens barrier on Old Gore this year is my question.

Tony The Tiger

New Boy Phil had a sterling ride, which I was not expecting straight out of the box. Seems the road is his daily grind so he knew what he was letting himself in for. 

Tom "The Power" Knight

Tony the Tiger brought up the rear on this occasion. He let his mind wonder a little on the start line saying to someone I wonder what Stephens is going to make up about me this week (Yes Tony, I hear all!). Can’t knock him though as he had a very nice birthday party to which we were all invited after the Hilly 25

Humming bird legs Wilson

Breath, Nigel wanted to see how close to me he could get

Adam Taylor on the way to a win

As I said last week, Cookie was to make his racing return, but alas that I now on hold as during a recent skiing competition  he managed to break his arm and is now looking very sorry for himself.

Thank Will for pushing off, Sarah for the turn and well what can I say, Sammie and her wonderful cakes which fortunately did not distract her to much with the timing, damn they went down well.

Rider of the night this week was Phil,a great ride first time out, see you next week.
