Oh me oh my, what seemed like a nice day was yet again a tough test against the wind. 3 Thorpers and 2 Thorper friends took part in the 50 mile Time Trial from Kirby Hill to Knayton and back, and back!
Despite the not so fast conditions Al Wareham smashed his PB to record 1.52.13…..simply awesome, well done Al you monster.
Next in order;
Andy Cal 2.01.15. A pb by 9 seconds and very close to a Harley Davidson moment.
Paul Brierley 2.04.46
Jack DeBokx 2.05.24 Not the ideal race prep the day before.
John Lancaster 2.07.19
The club 50 championship next Saturday will be contested by :
Andy Cal
John Cal
John Hatfield
John Lancaster
Steve mcCall
And also taking part friend Paul Brierley.
On a personal note, today i vowed that i would never do a fifty ever, ever, ever again. i would sell all my TT gear and buy a Harley. But as it’s the club 50 next week, then why not give it one more go. You see that’s what it’s all about this TT lark, it’s a massive mental battle between you and yourself. That’s why, next week,I will be there pushing myself to the very edge of sanity just like all the other people who have sold their soul to Time Trialling.
Bring it on! Allez les Verts.
