1st July
Surprisingly chilly given the tropical climes of late, with a delicate fragrance in the air providing a tantalising promise of a ‘float’ evening…

8th July
A wind shift and heavy downpour ensured that everyone went backwards. Dave Mastin spared the riders the bad news, since the watch needed drying out at home before it would relinquish the times. Pip climbed off at the halfway point, favouring a chat with the marshals in preference to cycling. Steve Robertson, despite tri bars coming loose, got closest to his previous time and thus scored maximum points. Anyway, once the timepiece had dried, the verdict was…
1st Danial Philips GS Invicta 23-13

The threatening monsoon held off and the wind dropped, so not a bad night for racing…

29th July
More rain! But once again it held off until the racing was done. And, once again Sam Petersen scored maximum points with yet another PB… and then promptly fell off! Sam is threatening to acquire a TT bike, so best look out and keep children and pets indoors on a Wednesday evening!

My apologies go to Pete Huckstep for a clerical error in the points standing as reported last week – anyway, now I’ve found my specs, it looks as though Pete is drawing much closer to Tony C, so hopefully the atmosphere will be getting a bit tense as the season reaches it's climax.
