Bristol south/Coriniun CC U46/50 28/06/08

The course was changed at the last minute due to roadwork’s, organizer D.Keene came up with a very fast alternative at short notice adding more DC which made for a three lap route.

The day was hampered by a strong westerly wind which although not a head wind on the out leg more of a nuisance across your left shoulder made it the hardest part of the course. Four diamond riders started yielding three PB’s,Charles was the quickest despite suffering with cramp.

Firstly we would like to wish Derek Rodgers a speedy recovery after being knocked off his bike while out training “Get well soon mate”.

The event went off in beautiful warm sunshine with only a slight breeze, fastest on the day was Charles with a stomping 52min ride to finish eight.

Happiest on the day would be Mark who topped off a double PB weekend by breaking the hour for the first time “Well done from all at the team”.

Trevor and Ger had a close battle with 1sec deciding it as they recorded their first sub hours of the season.

diamond-hf had a good turnout for this timetrial with Charles Zanettacci and Derek Rogers making impressive debuts in diamond-hf colours.  All the diamond-hf riders recorded excellent early season times which bodes well for the rest of the season.

As everywhere today it was blustery and very cold which made for two return legs into a strong headwind.  Quote “I have never been shaking with cold at the end of a TT before” Joe.

Well the sun shone and the wind blew, 40mph plus on the way out and crawling home on the return made for a damn fine workout. Jason starting his season today, and Trev,Joe and Mark improved their times from the earlier event on this course. Hats off to the Winner and the sub 1hr guys “awesome”.

First event of the season for the early starters and its fair to say all found it hard on this undulating course not aided by strong gusty winds.
