With quite a few regulars missing we still had 15 riders last night thanks to a lot of new faces. Juniors Jack Heyes (27.51) and Martyn Matt (28.37) were back for the second time on Broad Oak, Martyn drawing the short straw for first off which often does not help with a good time.
First time testers were David Morris (25.55) not far behind his son George, Steve Butcher (26.41) and, transformed from a couple of months when ago I first rode with him, Michael Hitchings (30.35) who lost time on unshipping his chain otherwise would have been sub 30 minutes.
After last week Keri Purves (29.38) dug out his times from the mid 1990's and found he was almost 8 minutes off his PB! This week he was two minutes quicker to get within six minutes but he says 15 years and 15 Kgs need to be shed!
After going sub hour for the 25 on his first attempt at the weekend Marc Townsend (19.45) won the event and joined the elite band of sub 20 minute Broad Oak circuit riders without being familiar with roads on his first go on the course. Second was Malcolm Daly (21.18) who has sewn up the points table and cannot be displaced from the top now. Joe Jenner (22.54) came in third.
Second and fourth fastest times of the evening were private time trials by In Gear's Barny Willard (20.54) and Bayeux's Rob Morris (22.03).
