Yorkshire 10 Mile Time Trial Championship

11/07/2009 by Alastair.

Three thorpers flew the green and white flag at today’s Yorkshire 10 mile TT Championships on the V212 course over at Boroughbridge/Walshford.

The course can only be described as ‘lumpy’ and the first leg was into a block headwind thus allowing for a flying return. It was extremely difficult riding into the block headwind -  surely we are due a float day soon?!. The continuous undulating gradient made it very difficult to get into a decent rhythm, however, some excellent times were posted.

The times were as follows:-

Alastair - 23:07

John Callaghan - 24:21

Jim Kirrane - 25:48

John finished 4th in his highly competitive ‘Espoir’ category. This category was subsequently won by Phil Graves in 20:02. Phil also won the overall event beating the likes of Wayne Randle and Carl Saint to the title.

Alastair and Jim finished 19th and 40th respectively in the Seniors category.

This was an excellent event and I would recommend that anyone enters it next year.

As the one and only Steve McCall would say - Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep testing!!
