After a week of promised dreadful weather , Sunday dawned clear with little wind but pretty cold. The 2008 season final club Time trial championship was won by Steve mcCall in a pb of 58.02. Other riders were Andy Cal in a pb of 58.45, Al Wareham in a debut 1.01.04 and the evergreen John Hatfield in 1.01.30. A very satisfactory day for the Thorpers !

Well done to Steve who nailed it with a superb display going so close to a 57 on only his second 25!

Chappeau to the men in green………………..Allez le vert.

Don’t forget there’s still the Club Hill Climb Championship on October 19th. This is the Huddersfield CA Ripponden bank course V999.

What a day we had at V718. An event billed as Yorkshires slowest 120 riders saw three of the newbies smash their personal bests by 2 to 3 minutes !

Andy Cal recorded a 22.28. Steve mcCall 22.41. John Callaghan 23.53, and Dave Sugden a 25 (with admittedly very little training this year).

Official results are still due but the times posted might not be slow enough for the slowest 120 next time. Chapeau to the men in green, allez le vert , Were Thorpers United !
